As part of the Global Comparative Study on REDD+, CIFOR is implementing a knowledge-sharing strategy by disseminating the latest information on REDD+ to journalists. This includes lessons learned in different countries from relevant REDD+ activities which enabled dialogues and briefings between policy makers, researchers, government and communities.On 26-30 August 2018, CIFOR will partner with Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) for the journalism workshop, "Reporting from GLF Nairobi 2018 on Prospects and Opportunities for Restoration in Africa," which will be held before and during GLF Nairobi.Key objectives of the REDD+ portion of the workshop:

• To share REDD+ policies and progress in African countries
• To bring evidence on which factors and configuration are crucial for progress for decision makers and practitioners involved in REDD+ at all level 
• To highlight the issue of forest restoration in REDD+. By implementing forest and landscape restoration practices into REDD+ national strategies, it could help to restore functionality of degraded lands and forests.

Journalist from Ethiopia, Guyana and the Democratic Republic of Congo will join journalists from 15 African countries invited by GLF for an extraordinary opportunity to listen to and interact face-to-face with important stakeholders. Journalists also encouraged to discuss the challenges their countries face in implementing REDD+ and forest restoration at the national level.The journalist workshop is supported by NORAD, Global Landscapes Forum and SciDev.Net.
