This participatory plenary celebrates successful restoration practices, and the women, men and youth who are practicing them in the drylands. Stories are shared from Kenya, Ethiopia, Senegal, Ghana, Mali, Nigeria and Niger, and approaches to building grassroots movements are explored at multiple scales, spanning from learnings on restoration at the farmer/household level, all the way to institution formation in local movements via faith-based groups, farmer cooperatives, women’s savings groups and youth and community-based organizations.
