Restoration Education | Building a Pan-African curriculum on landscape restoration | Progress Report

Restoration Education is the first initiative looking to build capacity for landscape restoration across Africa. Drawing on the expertise of African universities and international partners, the program is creating a Pan-African curriculum that blends online and in-person training to take landscape restoration to the next level for a more vibrant, resilient future. A new curriculum integrating knowledge and skills from both the life and social sciences will be initially taught at five universities in Ghana, Malawi, Nigeria, and Rwanda.

Our hope is for this modular, adaptable curriculum to take root; then, expand to other willing educational institutions across the region and beyond. More than a transformational program, Restoration Education is a collective journey uniting African teachers, educational centers, and international institutions to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts. As an Ashanti proverb says, ‘Nyansapɔ wosane no badwemma’, meaning ‘Wise knots can only be loosened by multiple wise people working together.’
