Expected outcomes

The principal outcomes of the project will include:

• a greater understanding of and openly accessible evidence on effectiveness, contextualisation, and scalability of NbS addressing land degradation and the associated climate vulnerabilities in eastern Africa;
• an improved capacity to implement these NbS in a holistic way that incorporates social, psychological, and policy parameters;
• an enhanced knowledge of how equity issues need to be incorporated in NbS implementation in the present context;
• a tested approach to ensuring temporal sustainability of NbS by addressing community norms, and building on stakeholder engagement.

Most importantly, the key outcome will be increased resilience, cohesiveness, and equity within the partner communities, achieved through increased confidence in and adoption of NbS that address land degradation and the climate vulnerabilities that it creates and exacerbates. The beneficiaries will include community level stakeholders, policymakers, and NGOs.
