This grant is to develop a guidance platform for investment decisions that focus on measures to simultaneously address emissions and protect forests and boost productivity, with emphasis on measures that help to combat poverty and support other development goals.

The focus areas on Agroforestry will look to create a web based tool that will present current knowledge on recommended agroforestry practices for each broad farming system on the African continent, and the expected mitigation, adaptation and productivity outcomes that can be achived. It is intended that such a tool will be used by decision makers at a national or regional scale, including governments, NGOs, development agencies and investors.
