From Pledge to Progress: Restoration in Motion Across Africa

Imagine a future where Africa’s degraded landscapes breathe again — where trees return, soils heal, and communities thrive. A future where restoration isn’t spoken of in the abstract, but lived and felt. That future is no longer distant. Through the African Forest and Landscape Restoration Initiative (AFR100), we’re building it one hectare at a time.

We’ve moved beyond the era of pledges. We’re firmly in the era of delivery.

This week, our team is on the ground in Chad — not just gathering data, but listening, learning, and witnessing the human side of restoration. Every community we visited, from Chari Baguirmi to Hadjer-Lamis and Lac provinces, carried a story: resilience in the face of climate pressure, innovation born from necessity, and a determination to restore what was lost. These are the stories that remind us why this work matters.

Because restoration is not only about maps, metrics, or hectares. It’s about people. It’s about equipping communities with the skills and tools to lead their own transformation. It’s about ensuring that women and youth — the backbone of rural economies — remain at the centre of this movement. And it’s about making sure that the benefits of restored land reach every household, not just a privileged few.

Together with our partners in Chad, we’re building systems that track progress, share knowledge, and accelerate impact across the continent. It’s a commitment to regenerating ecosystems, revitalising livelihoods, and strengthening climate resilience at scale.

Chad has pledged 1.4 million hectares to AFR100 — and this week alone, we documented more than 50 active projects driving that commitment forward. But Chad is only one chapter of a much larger continental story.

Across Chad, Cameroon, Kenya, Malawi, and Tanzania, we have now captured more than 400 projects across 1,000 sites. Each site stands as a testament to Africa’s resolve to create the Africa we want — not the Africa we inherited.

This is restoration in motion. This is Africa charting its own path toward a greener, more secure future.

Follow the journey on www.afr100.org as we work to bring 100 million hectares back to life by 2030. The continent is rising — hectare by hectare, community by community. And together, we can turn the tide.

🌍✨ Restoring Nigeria’s Land, Strengthening Africa’s Future

On Monday, 22 September 2025, leaders, investors, and changemakers will gather at Nigeria House, New York to chart a bold path:

“Attracting Large Scale Investment to Accelerate Ongoing Implementation of Innovative Strengthening of Smallholder Farmers and Productive Landscape Restoration in Nigeria.” 🇳🇬

Across Africa, land degradation is eroding agricultural production, food security, and community resilience. Nigeria alone lost over 463,000 hectares of forest between 2000–2010. In response, the government has committed to restore 4 million hectares under the AFR100 Initiative, contributing to Africa’s collective pledge to restore more than 100 million hectares by 2030.

But restoration requires more than commitment—it demands partnerships, innovation, and bold investment. This high-level event, co-hosted by AUDA-NEPAD and AUDA-NEPAD Nigeria, will spotlight opportunities to:
🌱 Empower smallholder farmers with climate-smart practices.
đź’§ Invest in water, irrigation, and resilient infrastructure.
🌾 Strengthen food systems for economic growth and rural livelihoods.
⚡ Unlock Africa’s renewable energy potential to power transformation.

With the participation of H.E. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, President of Nigeria, H.E. Mrs. Nardos Bekele-Thomas, CEO of AUDA-NEPAD, African leaders, private sector champions, and global partners, this gathering will drive the financing partnerships needed to turn degraded lands into fertile ground for jobs, resilience, and sustainable growth.

Nigeria’s story is Africa’s story: when land is restored, food systems are secured, youth are empowered, and economies thrive.

đź“Ť Venue: Nigeria House, 828 Second Avenue, NY 10017, New York, USA
🕙 Time: 10:00am – 12:00 noon

Together, let’s invest in a greener, more resilient future. 🌿💼
