Private sector involvement in restoration has widely been recognized as a means of financing restoration, influencing government policy etc. This theme seeks to explore ways for building private sector engagement and entrepreneurship in restoration.

Overall objectives:

Recruit the private sector to climate action and climate finance by showing what is possible, sharing lessons learnt as well as showcasing opportunities to support landscape restoration through corporate shared value.
Enhance a platform for private sector actors to network and interact with actors who can provide advice on how to get involved or invest in landscape restoration.
Identify bottlenecks and challenges faced by businesses involved in restoration e.g. (goats, spraying, rules, and regulations, woodfuel supply etc.)
Unlocking water producing infrastructure for restoration and come up with ways to engage the private sector in this.
Enhancing visibility for private sector actors engaging in restoration.
