The soon to be released Phase 3 of the African Landscape Action Plan (ALAP), lays out a strategy for achieving sustainable development in Africa through integrated landscape management (ILM).
African leaders of the November 2019 African Landscape Dialogue in Arusha, Tanzania, provided insights on recent progress and the recommendations for action developed during the Dialogue, around landscape partnerships and governance, achieving biodiversity conservation and climate-smart agriculture through ILM, business and finance, land use planning, and policy.
The November Dialogue, convened in Arusha, Tanzania, was the third in a series of Africa-
wide dialogues among local leaders of integrated landscape partnerships and others working with them to share innovations and lessons from the field, convened by the Landscapes for People, Food and Nature initiative.
The first, held in Nairobi, Kenya in 2014, generated the initial African Landscapes Action Plan, which was endorsed by the African Union.
The second Dialogue, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 2017, produced an updated ALAP Phase 2.

This publication summarizes the overarching framework, practices and experiences of the protagonists of the People’s Agroecology Process. It is not a step-by-step manual, nor does it intend to be a comprehensive response to the many questions facing our movements.

The People’s Agroecology Process emerged in 2015 as a grassroots-led initiative to scale out agroecology in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. It was inspired by the work of allied organizations involved in the transnational peasant and small-scale farmer movement, La Via Campesina—the world’s largest rural social movement with over 200 million members in more than 80 countries. In our collective, we believe that agroecology has the power to mobilize and inspire millions to take back the land, seeds and food appropriated and controlled by transnational corporations.
