The aim of this research is to assist the African Natural Resources Management and Investment Centre (ANRC), an entity of the African Development Bank (AfDB), to meet its commitment to advise regional member countries (RMCs) on important aspects of natural resource management and to ensure nature fully supports Africa’s future economic development objectives. With support from the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF), this ambitious, nature-positive development agenda acknowledges the magnitude and importance of climate and nature for the future sustainability of regional member countries and will transform the sustainable development narrative.
