Unlocking the power of data to drive sustainable development in Africa
The World Resources Institute (WRI) is a global research organization that was founded in 1982 with the mission to promote environmental sustainability, economic opportunity, and human well-being. WRI Africa, a regional office based in Nairobi, Kenya, extends this mission across the African continent. The organization leverages data and research to influence policies and practices, aiming to address critical environmental challenges such as climate change, deforestation, and water scarcity.
WRI Africa operates extensively across the continent, focusing on projects that drive sustainable development and environmental conservation. The institute collaborates with governments, businesses, and civil society to implement initiatives that have a measurable impact on communities and ecosystems. Key programs include the African Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative (AFR100) and the Water, Peace, and Security Partnership, which have significantly contributed to enhancing resilience and promoting sustainable land and water management practices.
WRI Africa has a significant presence in various African countries, with regional hubs in Nairobi, Kenya, and other strategic locations. The organization works across East, West, and Southern Africa, addressing region-specific environmental challenges and promoting sustainable practices tailored to local contexts.
Among WRI Africa’s flagship initiatives are the African Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative (AFR100), which aims to restore 100 million hectares of land by 2030, and the Water, Peace, and Security Partnership, which addresses water-related conflicts. These programs are supported by partnerships with governments, international organizations, and private sector stakeholders.
WRI Africa has achieved significant milestones, including the restoration of millions of hectares of degraded land and the development of innovative tools for water management. The organization’s efforts have been recognized for their contribution to enhancing environmental resilience and promoting sustainable economic growth across the continent.
