Join this interactive learning session co-organized by the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and the World Food Programme (WFP) to explore how integrated approaches to land restoration and social protection can drive resilience, peacebuilding, and food security in fragile contexts.

Drawing from real-world insights—including the Sahel Integrated Resilience Programme (Sahel IRP)—this webinar will bring together UN Decade partners, government actors, NGOs, and practitioners to exchange experiences and ideas.
