We are pleased to announce that the 7th Call for the Formative Assessment of Soil Projects (FASP) has now concluded. Of the five projects evaluated, two successfully met the FASP criteria by demonstrating strong alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the "4 per 1000" vision, and have received the endorsement of the "4 per 1000" Initiative. The other projects that participated in the evaluation process were provided with detailed advice on opportunities for project refinement.

MENA Regenerative Agriculture Venture Programme

The MENA Regenerative Agriculture Venture Programme is an accelerator that identifies and supports regional research, scientific, and nature-based innovations through tailored learning journeys, bootcamps, mentorship, grants, and incubation opportunities to advance regenerative agriculture in the region. By strengthening awareness, technical capacity, and entrepreneurial skills, the programme enables researchers and academic institutions to scale their impact while fostering cross-sector collaboration.

Focused on MENA’s specific agricultural challenges, including arid landscapes, land degradation, saline soils, desertification, and water scarcity, the programme has demonstrated remarkable regional engagement since its launch in December 2023.

HURISOIL

The HURISOIL project aims to restore soil fertility, strengthen the climate resilience of vulnerable rural communities, and promote sustainable agricultural practices in western Cameroon. Led by the international NGO HURIFBA – Human Rights and Forest Brain Africa, HURISOIL combines the regeneration of degraded land, community reforestation, agroecology, and environmental education.

The project promotes carbon sequestration through practices such as composting, mulching, cover crops, and sustainable organic matter management, while emphasizing social inclusion and providing training and technical support for rural women, youth, and people with disabilities.
