The Zambia for Agroforestry, Biodiversity and Climate Action - (Z4ABC) project is funded by the EUROPEAN COMMISSION’s DeSIRA initiative, with co-funding from Finnish partners and the Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR). Partners include three Finnish research and higher education institutions, namely the Natural Resource Institute Finland (Luke), the Viikki Tropical Resources Institute (VITRI) at the University of Helsinki and Häme University of Applied Sciences (HAMK). Together they will provide expertise in facilitation, capacity building support, data collection and data analysis, as well as support to identify and implement relevant pilot actions. The project is collaborating closely with different governmental, non-governmental and private sector partners at national, landscape, and local levels, as well as with different actors involved in the selected nature-based value chains. The focus beneficiaries are the local communities. ******************* Z4ABC has received funding from the European Union’s DeSIRA programme.
