Accelerating local leadership at scale

 

The session hosted by GLFx Nairobi and the International Land Coalition Africa (ILC Africa) has the key objective of identifying best practices, blueprints, and successful models for accelerating youth and women leadership in restoration by showcasing success stories of individual to collective women and youth leadership in restoration that can be replicated or scaled from Kenya and beyond sub-Saharan Africa.
This includes their leadership in decision-making around the governance of resources, knowledge, and innovations in restoration implementation, as said by social innovators:
No one way can fix it all in land restoration, we must apply different strategies that apply to different people and communities,” Kaluki Paul Mutuku, Kenya Innovation Action Network.
 
“When you engage the youth, you are engaging the warriors,”  Ann Njuki, International Land Coalition Kenya.
