TerrAfrica partners are implementing a wide range of activities under the umbrella of a joint annual work program, itself a key tool for driving the coalition building and harmonization process critical to succeeding in TerrAfrica’s mission. Activities under the work program are organized around three mutually reinforcing Activity Lines – Coalition Building, Knowledge Management and Investments – which together aim to generate the coalitions, advocacy, ‘know-how’, policies and investment packages necessary for full and effective mainstreaming, up-scaling and financing of SLM.
