@KenyaPower_Care There is a serious under-voltage at Fortsmiths Area, Upper Kabete. This will destroy gadgets in many homes. Attend it fast

Grateful to be part of this #CBPP & Ecosystem Restoration Training of Trainers Bootcamp. We can win the fight against land degradation that has precipitated loss of ecosystem function, poverty and feed, food and nutrition insecurity in Eastern Africa #drylands

7. Capacity building in long-term engagements through layering and sequencing of projects and programmes with the same communities and location
8. Include citizen science technology to track restoration efforts, like the #RegreeningAfricaApp, with #rangeland and business modules.

[Stephen Mureithi @stemureithi]

How can we achieve scaling-out and pastoralists’ adoption of interventions for restoration of the drylands?
List cont…
4. Plan with the people so they own the co-interventions, through PRM and CBPP exercises
5. Resource mobilization to support proven restoration practices

6. Making a business case esp. for youth and women to decide to invest in relatively low-cost restoration actions, which already produce short-term economic and environmental benefits.
