Africa Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) Program

The Program

Across Africa, our team identifies, co-creates, and supports high-integrity nature-based solutions that protect rural livelihoods and generate sustainable income through ecosystem restoration and climate-resilient agriculture. By restoring natural capital, our projects create thousands of green jobs in nature-based enterprises, enhance water and food security, reduce flood and landslide risks, and conserve biodiversity.

In collaboration with local partners, our nature-based solutions initiatives:

  • Safeguard rural livelihoods and open new, sustainable income streams through climate-resilient agriculture and related value chains.

  • Create green jobs in land restoration and nature-positive enterprises.

  • Restore natural capital to improve water and food security, reduce disaster risk, and protect biodiversity across priority landscapes.

N4J's Role

What We Do

Partnering For Impact

We connect smallholder farmers, community organizations, non-profits, businesses, investors, and government—recognizing that collaboration is essential for scale, sustainability, and de-risking.

Centering Climate Justice

While our solutions are nature-based, our mission is centered on social justice. Every project aims to build resilience and deliver tangible benefits for those affected by climate change.

Aggregate. Consolidate. Co-Create.

Through inclusive co-creation, we engage smallholder farmers and communities, bridge skill gaps, and develop bankable projects that are community-driven and investment-ready.

Maximizing Benefits

We take a holistic approach, ensuring that our projects strengthen biodiversity, sequester carbon, improve well-being, and support the long-term viability of smallholder enterprises and value chains.

Collaborating with Government

Strategic engagement with national and sub-national governments ensures alignment with policy priorities, facilitates scaling, and accelerates implementation for lasting, large-scale impact.
