Peer learning and lessons exchanges: a peer exchange platform called the AFOLU Community of Practice (AFOLU CoP) was established to ensure project lessons and experiences are shared continentally through a network of regional institutions and partner activities. As a key highlight of the CoP, Mozambique became a peer advisor to a team from Ghana on adapting the REDD Abacus model to run agroforestry project level scenarios and to link with the LEAP model to provide an integrated picture of impacts across sectors. Building on this collaboration, the Eduardo Mondlane University, which served as the technical lead in Mozambique under the project, was appointed as an Africa LEDS Project peer learning champion in May 2019 to implement peer learning activities. At the project close-out meeting, results were shared with non-participating countries, Benin, Nigeria, Togo, and Uganda. As a result, state and non-state stakeholders from these countries called for replication of lessons across Africa. This meeting culminated to adoption and endorsement of a ground-breaking declaration, “the Accra Action Agenda on Low Emissions Development Strategies (LEDS) For Africa”. This declaration, which urges governments across Africa to create an enabling environment for investments in low emission development as demonstrated by the Africa LEDS Project, was presented to ministers at the 17th ordinary session of the Africa Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN). This gave project results high-level policy endorsement for continent-wide upscaling.
