The first phase of the second PILA Multi-Stakeholder Workshop under the @FAO led @theGEF-funded @FOLURimpact Nigeria Project rounds off today in Calabar, Cross River State.

Over the past days, stakeholders from government, communities, private sector, and academia have advanced dialogue and collaboration on Integrated Landscape Management (ILM); promoting more sustainable approaches to land use, ecosystem restoration, climate resilience, and food systems transformation in Nigeria through the PILA approach.

The workshop was formally declared open by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Anthony Owan-Enoh, on Monday, 5 May. The second phase of the workshop will hold in Akure, Ondo State, from May 12–15.

Sustainable food systems, healthy landscapes and resilient communities are closely connected 🌱

At #RES2026, IUCN contributed to a regional dialogue on how integrated land use, #LandscapeRestoration and #NatureBasedSolutions can support food security, livelihoods, biodiversity conservation and climate resilience across #CentralAsia.

The discussion brought together #FOLUR country project teams, national institutions and partners from KAZ and UZB to exchange experiences, reflect on progress and explore opportunities to scale up practical solutions.

The side event was convened by IUCN, @FAO and @UNDPKAZ.
