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.

Through the Green Palestine: Promoting a Sustainable Environment for Children, Their Families, and Communities in Areas B and C of the West Bank project, local Green Committees are taking the lead in community-driven efforts to conserve biodiversity and build climate resilience.

In a significant step towards advancing climate resilience and sustainable development in Zambia, World Vision Zambia and the Ministry of Green Economy and Environment have formalised their partnership with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The ceremony, held in Lusaka, brought together key government officials and representatives from World Vision to mark the start of a shared commitment to address climate change and environmental challenges facing the country.

In the once-barren land of Katete District, in Kalonga Gawa Undi’s chiefdom in eastern Zambia, a quiet transformation is taking root thanks to the determination of Evelyn Mwansa, whose new passion is to embrace and preserve nature. Evelyn Mwansa, a 46-year-old mother of five, has become a beacon of environmental change through her work in Farmer-Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR), a simple yet powerful land restoration technique she learned through training provided by World Vision.

The growing demand for fresh vegetables to supply daily school meals for early-grade students is sparking renewed interest among small-scale farmers in commercial agriculture, revitalizing local groups and associations. World Vision Mozambique (WV-Moz) through the Partnering for Sustainable Education Outcomes (PARES) project, is providing a platform for farmers to strengthen their organizational skills and leverage the Local and Regional Procurement (LRP) approach. This initiative serves as an additional source of food to sustain the school feeding program.

Over 500,000 tree seedlings were distributed to smallholder farmers in Kwale and Kilifi Counties during a two-day drive on April 15–16, 2025, as part of the Global EverGreening Alliance’s Restore Africa Programme. This initiative aims to rehabilitate degraded lands and enhance livelihoods. Local leaders emphasized the importance of nurturing these trees to combat climate change and restore vulnerable landscapes.

World Vision's Regreening Communities Project Model addresses climate change and environmental degradation by guiding communities through a participatory environmental restoration process. A tailored set of solutions is selected by each community including scaling-up indigenous restoration practices, strengthening government partnerships for restoration, and introducing proven practices like Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR).
