The Forest and Landscape Restoration Mechanism (FLRM) provides direct and normative support at all levels through knowledge management, innovative financing and resource mobilization, forest and landscape restoration (FLR) monitoring, and communications. The FLRM works in close partnership with other institutions that support FLR through several regional and global initiatives.

At the country level:

The FLRM has supported work in several countries focusing on:

• governance, institutional support and enabling environments;
• preparing national forest and landscape restoration plans;
• sustainable financing of FLR; and
• pilot actions focused on the implementation of innovative models.

At the regional level:

The FLRM is involved with Bonn Challenge decentralized processes, such as Initiative 20x20 in Latin America and AFR100 in Africa. It also plays a leading role in facilitating the preparation of a regional strategy and action plan on FLR in the Asia-Pacific, and in framing the restoration agenda in the Mediterranean region. These initiatives aim to facilitate the implementation of national commitments by improving:

• knowledge sharing on good practices;
• financial resources mobilization;
• capacity development; and
• FLR monitoring.

At the global level:

The FLRM contributes to several initiatives in collaboration with other members of the Global Partnership on Forest and Landscape Restoration:

• capacity development for ecosystem restoration co-organized with the Convention on Biological Diversity Secretariat;
• capitalization of knowledge through the FLR knowledge platform and communities of practice;
• FLR finance; and
• monitoring of FLR, including facilitating the implementation of the collaborative roadmap on FLR monitoring.
