Re-launch of the Community of Practice on Agriculture, Forestry and Land Use
The Africa AFOLU CoP is being re-launched by the Africa LEDS Partnership in collaboration with UNIQUE forestry and other land use. In 2020, the CoP will initially cover learning and technical collaboration related to common topics and challenges in the livestock sector in Africa.
Expressions of interest to participate in the CoP are now open; you may self-nominate or nominate suitable persons (along with their contact details and approval) from national and sub-national government agencies, private sector, academia, NGOs and/or international organizations working on AFOLU topics in Africa.
As the nature of CoPs is demand-driven and highly participatory, you are also encouraged to formulate specific needs and demands for priority topics under this CoP related to for example:
- Integrating livestock and climate change policies
- Accounting and emission factors for GHG and NDC reporting
- Rangeland management, with a view to mitigation and adaptation
- Addressing enteric methane emissions
- Strategies for small-scale producers and large-scale commercial production
If you are interested and would like to express your interest, sign up to via the Google Form.
