 Building inclusive knowledge sharing hubs (Livestock Cafés) for resilient pastoral livelihoods and rangeland restoration in East African drylands (Include2Restore)
REFNo: A621ES

The objective of Include2Restore project is to investigate how rangeland restoration can become sustainable: not only ecologically, but also socially and economically.
The project targets four main objectives:
(1) co-identify rangeland management and restoration practices that will safeguard inclusive and equitable restoration long-term on household and community levels;
(2) co-identify ways to realize new financial returns from rangeland restoration that will safeguard and promote inclusive restoration outcomes long-term;
(3) support and strengthen identified practices within local management structures by integrating them into the Livestock Cafés;
(4) co-test the potential of inclusive, rangeland restoration and sustainable management to build peace through scaling identified best practices by innovating Next Generation Livestock Cafés.
