Shifting the paradigm on refugee-hosting landscapes: from land degradation to land restoration and resilience

The aim of the project was to increase the resilience of refugeehosting landscapes through the implementation of gendersensitive nature-based solutions (NbS), with a focus on RRR that incorporated a nexus around home gardens, agroforestry and cooking energy (see Figure 1). Objectives included developing, testing and verifying technologies and livelihood models for circular bio-economy solutions to capture energy, water and nutrients, and building resilient food and energy systems for refugee settlements and their host communities (see Figure 2).
