General objective:

• Outline and elaborate key approaches for ecosystem restoration in key Kenyan ecosystems and elucidate challenges and opportunities therein
• Developing action plans for the creation and development of action groups to sustain the groups in each of the four domain

Specific objectives:

• Identifying what is working well and why it is a good opportunity
• Identifying opportunities to integrate restoration in the ecosystem plans
• Capacity development approaches for all actors
• Drawing from lessons and challenges to chart the way forward

This theme will explore the best restoration practices i.e. what works for restoration, how to implement restoration and upscale it. Four restoration approaches will be examined:

• Pastoral system restoration (PMNR)
• Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR)
• Agricultural landscape restoration
• Conservation/restoration (areas with wildlife restoration)

There will also be an element of training/capacity building to address the priority needs for member and partner organizations in restoration, leveraging existing tools, training materials, and capacity-building activities.
