Renewal Africa Foundation
Climate, ecosystems and energy

Restore landscapes. Expand clean energy. Build resilience.

Healthy ecosystems and affordable clean energy can strengthen community resilience. Our approach links restoration, practical energy access and local stewardship.

The need

Start with the community and the evidence

Environmental pressure and unreliable energy affect livelihoods together. Interventions need local ownership and follow-up beyond distribution or planting day.

Our approach

From assessment to sustained use

  • Assess local ecosystem pressures and household energy needs
  • Support community nurseries and restoration activities
  • Improve access to appropriate clean-energy solutions
  • Monitor survival, adoption and maintenance with local partners
Results-based programme design

Measure delivery, change and contribution separately

Intended outputs

Restoration activities and suitable clean-energy installations delivered.

Intended outcomes

Sustained use of supported energy services and improved restoration survival.

Long-term contribution

A contribution to environmental resilience and reduced resource pressure.

Evidence approach: Follow-up survival counts, usage checks and community monitoring.

Each project framework connects conception and inception to inputs, activities and results, with assumptions, risks and feedback loops. Long-term impact is assessed through evidence, not inferred from completed activities.

Listen, adapt and review

Our plans connect conception and inception with inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes and impact. Community feedback should inform decisions at every stage, with clear responsibilities and follow-up evidence.
