To support the objective of sharing knowledge and showcasing innovations and outcomes, the Africa Knowledge Exchange invites participants to a knowledge fair to learn about experiences and lessons learned in implementing work in relation to sustainable forestry, climate resilience, and Indigenous People and Local Communities through the Forest Investment Program (FIP) and Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR) projects over the past 15 years.
The knowledge fair features nine booths, from seven African countries (Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Niger, Republic of Congo, and Zambia), the African Development Bank (AfDB), and the CIF.
