Over fiscal year 2024, the FOLUR Global Platform was supercharged into a larger movement by more broadly influencing change. In part, this occurred through increased integration into core partner and World Bank activities through a process colloquially known as FOLURization.
FOLUR offered to provide technical assistance to World Bank country projects interested in FOLURization within the Global Department for Agriculture and Food and the Global Department for the Environment.
Under this initiative, projects are learning about developing sustainable food production value chains, promoting land restoration through integrated landscape management (ILM), halting land degradation and deforestation, reaching low-carbon climate-resilient targets; and advancing dialogue on public-private initiatives, targeted analytical products, and training and case studies that prioritize country-level engagement. Early adopters include Ethiopia, Uganda, and Ukraine.
