achievement of Kenya’s restoration ambitions, that can shape
mindsets, support implementation. - Showcase different restoration practices and investigate their
suitability for the different places and people in the country. - Provide a platform for engaging with policy makers that will
contribute to necessary policy adjustments needed to support
landscape restoration. - Highlight the role of women and youth in restoration and outline
potential for their greater inclusion. - Identify bottlenecks and opportunities for greater restoration
