"Partnerships are at the heart of transformative change.

Through collaborative efforts like the Resilient Food Systems program, we are not only improving livelihoods and restoring landscapes, but we are also creating lasting impact across Africa.

@theGEF's @petermbanda says agriculture is vital to us all but has come at a cost to the environment - with impacts felt across land degradation and more - integrated programs across sectors can tackle this problem

[Global Environment Facility (GEF) @theGEF]

The climate crisis requires all hands on deck. 🤝

We are committed to working differently for the results we need, with ever-closer partnership with @CIF_Action, @adaptationfund and @theGCF for aligned and impactful climate action.
