The project is implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and executed by Angola’s Ministry of Environment (MINAMB) and the National Institute for Biodiversity and Protected Areas (INBC). Local stakeholders are engaged in policy dialogue, planning, and restoration activities, while restoration practitioners focus on building capacity and mobilizing financial resources. Partners from the private sector, academia, and public institutions contribute to restoration efforts and support governance mechanisms.

Restoration and sustainable land management practices will be promoted and demonstrated at selected project sites to show practical benefits.
Innovative financial mechanisms will be used to fund restoration and conservation efforts, ensuring continuity beyond the project period.
Knowledge management, awareness-raising, and gender inclusion will be strengthened to support effective and equitable land management.
