Akidi Agnes, 54, a farmer from Bar Lwala Village, Aboke Town Council, is leading her community in sustainable farming and environmental restoration through Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR). After training with World Vision Uganda, she now promotes the protection and regeneration of indigenous trees to improve soil fertility and farming productivity.

The Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) Business Plan for Zambia (2023–2033) outlines a comprehensive strategy to restore 2 million hectares of degraded land, contributing to climate resilience and improved livelihoods. World Vision Zambia aims to directly restore 600,000 hectares through community-based programming and catalyse broader adoption of FMNR practices to cover an additional 1.4 million hectares. FMNR is a cost-effective land restoration technique that involves the regeneration of native trees and shrubs from existing root systems or seeds. The plan highlights FMNR’s ability to improve soil fertility, water retention, biodiversity, and agricultural productivity, ultimately doubling crop yields and increasing income for farming families.

Francoise, a 34-year-old mother of four from Rusizi, transformed her life from a struggling rural farmer into a successful entrepreneur through the support of World Vision Rwanda’s CORE Project, funded by SIDA. Once without savings or business knowledge, she joined a savings group, expanded her farming, and co-founded the “Berwa Munyarwanda” Cooperative, which launched a thriving wedding hall and catering business. With increased income, she also opened a grocery shop and recently took her first trip to Kigali for a business trip, showcasing her remarkable journey from poverty to prosperity. Francoise now serves as a powerful role model, proving that with the right tools and determination, real changes are possible.
