The Africa Overview of Conservation Approaches and Technologies (AfriOCAT) was officially launched on 23 October 2025 in Addis Ababa – with the participation of DSL-IP representatives from Burkina Faso and Kenya.
The event brought together the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD), the Water and Land Resource Centre (WLRC) Ethiopia, and key African institutions working on Sustainable Land Management and land restoration.
The AfriOCAT network will contribute to decentralize WOCAT’s efforts, enhance South-South knowledge exchange, and strengthen collaborative initiatives and programmes – such as the DSL-IP – to accelerate land restoration across Africa.
