Livestock Sector Climate Finance Flows in selected African countries: Study Report
(AU-IBAR, 2026-03) Teno, Gabriel
This study is guided by a detailed methodological approach comprising six key steps: (1) selection of participant countries and definition of the study horizon; (2) definition of key elements and development of the analytical framework; (3) data collection from public databases and project documentation; (4) data processing and analysis, including coding, cleaning, and triangulation; (5) interpretation and synthesis of results to provide a comprehensive picture of climate finance flows; and (6) identification of challenges and corresponding mitigation strategies. This methodology is built on the one used in 2022 for livestock climate finance flows studies in Western Africa (Teno, 2023) and Eastern Africa (Rugerri, 2024). These two studies were conducted simultaneously in 2022 using the same methodological approach, although they were published at different times.
The Business Case for Investment in Rangeland Restoration
(AU-IBAR, 2025-10) Davies, Jonathan; Nyamtseren, Mandakh; Wane, Abdrahmane; Hientz, Lennart
As rangeland restoration builds momentum, countries and their development partners are recognising the need to transition from projects to national programmes and policies and eventually to long-term private investment to restore and sustainably manage rangelands. Evidence suggests that rangelands restoration will pay for itself, with estimated returns of USD4-USD35 for each USD invested. However, global figures vary greatly and may not provide adequate confidence for investment at a local level.

Alignment of Madagascar’s Fisheries and Aquaculture Development Policies with the African Fisheries and Aquaculture Reform Policy Framework and Strategy (PFRS)
(2026) KOKO Chantal de Cupertino
The National Strategy for Aquaculture Development (SNDAM), published in 2021, marks the period during which the Ministry of Fisheries was integrated into the Agriculture sector under the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries ( MAEP). The document is valid until 2030 and focuses primarily on the development of aquaculture. The SNDAM ( 2021 ) is a sectoral policy document whose purpose is to translate and specify the objectives of the Government’s general policy relating to fisheries and aquaculture within the aquaculture sector, and to provide a strategic framework for promoting the aquaculture sector in Madagascar (SNDAM, 2021).
Policy Note Towards Effective Engagement of Stakeholders in the Operationalization of African Union Blue Print: The Africa Blue Economy Strategy (ABES)
(AU-IBAR, 2025-09) Seisay, Dr Mohamed; Anozie, Obinna; Baio, Prof. Andrew; Dr Sloans Chimatiro; Dr Patrick Karani; Kennedy Oroko;
The Africa Blue Economy Strategy (ABES) provides a framework for Member States and Regional Economic Communities to develop their inclusive Blue Economy sectors, by harnessing water-dependent sectors such as fisheries, aquaculture, maritime transport, aquatic mining, renewable energy and blue tourism. Under the auspices of the Mission of the Kingdom of Norway to the African Union, the AU-IBAR is implementing a project to support African Union Member States and Regional Economic Communities to develop national and regional Blue Economy Strategies aligned to the African Blue Economy Strategy. The information in this policy brief has been collected from the said project activities and outputs.
