Today, I met with colleagues & partners from CI, COMESA, ZEMA and the GEF OFP in Lusaka, Zambia to align a new GEF GOLD+ project to local priorities. ⁦@vitalsignsdata⁩, ⁦@africa_ci⁩, ⁦@theGEF⁩

Almost half of the #irrecoverable carbon in #Kenya is outside #protected/conservation areas. We need to target these areas in our efforts to fight #climatechange @Jamah2000 @vitalsignsdata @KeForestService @theGEF @ConservationOrg @Sir_Psam @PeterAlele @Esendivictor

@theGEF-funded @ResFoodSystems programme is working in 12 African countries to: 🌱 Restore degraded land 🌽 Increase agricultural productivity 📈 Improve farmer incomes Learn more in the new #RFS2021 Programme Highlights: wrld.bg/tHKZ50ISpK8

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS: We are looking for a Consultant to conduct a Resilient Study across 12 countries in Africa. Details: lnkd.in/dAG_hrR6

Meet our February Members in Action! Dr. @PeterAlele has witnessed firsthand how conserving and restoring nature can improve livelihoods and his greatest reward is developing big projects that contribute to better livelihoods through nature. Read more: ser.org/news/594315/Me…

"In Africa, livelihoods are intertwined with nature. Conserving & restoring nature improves livelihoods. My greatest reward is developing projects that contribute to better livelihoods through nature." @vitalsignsdata’s Dr. @PeterAlele via @SERestoration lnkd.in/dQceRd6c

Kenya is progressing on well with the development of an Integrated #Monitoring, Reporting & #Verification system; vitalsigns.org/blog/kenya%E2%… This will help centralize the #climatechange actions @vitalsignsdata @Environment_Ke @kilimoKE @Sir_Psam @PeterAlele @Esendivictor

Ever wondered how you can quickly turn #EO data to information that can guide restoration efforts? Then trends.earth could be the solution. #Map #Landdegradation #carbonemission due to #deforestation determine #potentialrestoration sites @vitalsignsdata @africa_ci

Remote sensing technology minimizes disruptions in the monitoring of environmental and food security projects during this COVID era. Check out this article I wrote in Evaluation Matters idev.afdb.org/en/content/rem… @africa_ci @vitalsignsdata @PeterAlele @Esendivictor @ResFoodSystems

With #EarthObservation projects can be monitored & assessed even when going to the field is challenging, costly & inappropriate. Read an article from @endenga on how #remotesensing has been applied to M&A the @ResFoodSystems project @ICRAF @IFAD @vitalsignsdata @ConservationOrg

Reversing land degradation requires the right tools and the right people so we couldn't be more grateful for this training and all those involved! 🍎👩🏾‍💻🌟 @FAO @UNDP @UNDPUganda

Land degradation analysis is critical in guiding land restoration interventions, monitoring restoration progress, and informing policy. 3/

The trainees learnt about trends.earth, a tool developed by @ConservationOrg to cost-effectively monitor land degradation. The tool is used by countries to report on their land degradation neutrality obligations to @UNCCD. 2/

This week, our GIS/Remote Sensing Analyst @TomKiptenai and Technical Manager @endenga conducted a virtual training on land degradation analysis & mapping for personel of the Government of 🇺🇬 and @ResFoodSystems project. @min_waterUg @MAAIF_Uganda @ibrahimthiaw @NFAUG 1/

A very engaging training session with the RFS Uganda team on using Trends.Earth tool to assess land degradation analysis and land cover transitions! @TomKiptenai @PeterAlele @Esendivictor @africa_ci @ResFoodSystems @JonkyTenou @MAAIF_Uganda

Building #capacity of government & project officials goes an extra mile in ensuring that #landdegradation can be #mapped at the lowest possible unit. @min_waterUg @NFAUG @Jamah2000 @ResFoodSystems @UNDPUganda @DavidOruka @vitalsignsdata @trendsdotearth

Most #degraded land in #Uganda is highlighted in red. #Restoration efforts should concentrate in these areas @DEarthAfrica @UgandaMediaCent @vitalsignsdata @Afr100_Official @Mamadou_AFR100 @PeterAlele @rcmrd @min_waterUg @NFAUG

📢 Join @TomKiptenai, our #RemoteSensing Analyst, and @endenga, our M&E specialist, + other experts for this engaging event today at #COP26. Details: vitalsigns.org/blog/cop-26-si…

@GladysAbroad @WFP @ESA_Tech @IFAD @FAO @tgvagen @lawinowiecki @cavaromy @FAOForestry @TomKiptenai @KarlMorteo I am pleased to be part of this event, and together with my colleague @TomKiptenai to present on geospatial tools for assessing food security.@ResFoodSystems @vitalsignsdata @Esendivictor @PeterAlele

Together with my colleague @endenga we will be presenting during Share Fair on #Geospatial Tools and Applications for #ClimateInvestments #COP26 #SideEvent 9th Nov 2021 @IFAD @vitalsignsdata @PeterAlele @Jamah2000 @ConservationOrg vitalsigns.org/blog/cop-26-si…
