About this project

The Restore Africa: Restoring Landscapes and Livelihoods in Eastern Uganda (RESAf) project is located in the mountainous regions of Mount Elgon and the pastoral rangelands of the Karamoja in the northeast of Uganda. The project focusses on the establishment of new trees (i.e. through manual planting) as well as management activities that enhance the natural regeneration of established root stock (e.g., through coppice management and protection from livestock). The aim is to both sequester atmospheric carbon as well as generate a broad set of environmental and socio-economic co-benefits through implementation at a landscape scale. Co-benefits include creation of jobs for local people, improvements in the situation and condition of women, a reduction in erosion, improved water flow and sedimentation management and the introduction of a new form of income to enhance livelihoods. The establishment and regeneration of approximately 4.4 million trees across 99,000 ha aims to restore the land and livelihoods of 62,317 small-scale farming households. The project will collaborate and align with established organizations in the area to enhance the long-term sustainability of measures and to ensure that implementation occurs in an efficient, locally appropriate and acceptable manner. This project is expected to sequester approximately 4.3 million tCO2e over a 30-year project period.
