HOW CAN WE GENERATE INVESTMENT? Despite a very considerable body of on-farm experience in testing agroforestry and other tree-based technologies for their effect on increasing productivity and generating rural income, investment in these approaches has lagged. A lot of attention has been given to mobilizing sources of public investment in these approaches. Substantial sources of private investment exist for forest- and treebased investments, but a limited understanding of potential investment opportunities or of the bestsuited technologies—coupled with policy, regulatory, and institutional constraints—has prevented these sources of investment from being tapped in a way that could contribute to improving the productivity of rural farming systems and enhancing the resilience of rural production systems. This Investment Forum—its preparation as well as any follow-up—was conceived as an element in a strategy shared by the sponsors (the World Bank, IUCN, EcoAgriculture Partners, TerrAfrica, and the World Agroforestry Centre, with support from PROFOR) and other partners to raise awareness among and engage with key policy makers and decision makers in Africa to catalyze policy reforms and investments to scale up landscape restoration and management systems. The challenge ahead is not so much a shortage of scientific knowledge about suitable agroforestry or more intensive farm-forestry systems but rather a lack of understanding of farmers’ specific constraints to adoption and deficiencies in policy support and investments to scale up proven techniques. The Investment Forum is meant to capitalize on the very large body of knowledge and experience on agroforestry and other landscape management techniques acquired over the past three decades, to focus on disseminating the most promising systems and generating interest in investment. This volume contains three analytic pieces that were commissioned to help inform and guide the deliberations at the forum: • The first chapter describes the tree-based technologies and approaches that can restore and enhance the functionality of rural farming landscapes in Africa and, at the same time, generate private investment interest. • The second chapter describes areas in which landscape restoration measures have the greatest potential in Africa. It considers the spatial potential for restoration as well as overlays of tenure and ownership to identify the places where tree-planting measures would have the greatest potential to generate private investment. • The third chapter describes constraints and opportunities for investment, focusing on the factors that constrain the private sector from investing in tree-based landscape rehabilitation measures as well as the factors that increase private sector interest in investing in enterprises that manage forests and trees in landscapes. Together, the three chapters cover the what, where, and how of investments in tree-based landscape restoration technologies. Annex III provides a summary of the proceedings of the forum, which was organized around these three themes, and Annex IV provides a list of participants. INTRODUCTION 15
