Here’s what Niels Dierckx, COO, Justdiggit, says.
Expert Insights
Justdiggit is an African European organisation that is teaming up with communities to regreen African landscapes at scale. By doing so, we contribute to multiple SDG’s including: Life on land (SDG 15), but also other SDG’s such as No poverty (SDG 1), Zero hunger (SDG 2) and Climate Action (SDG 13). Currently, we have brought over 400,000 hectares under restoration, contributing massively to the aforementioned SDG’s since healthy landscapes are the foundation on which they are built.
Our aim is to mainstream regreening, making regreening techniques available to everybody and not just experts. One of the ways we do that is by making this knowledge available on a digital platform that subsistence farmers can access directly, and which gives them customised advice on techniques that they can use. Part of this platform is an app called “Kijani” (which means “green” in Swahili) which we introduced in Tanzania last month and are planning to introduce in other African countries in the years to come.
