The GLFx initiative has announced a new call for proposals to strengthen local environmental action across Africa.
The programme aims to support the creation and growth of GLFx chapters—community-driven groups working to advance sustainability within Africa’s most critical landscapes.
Its core mission is to identify and partner with locally rooted organisations that are making tangible impacts on the ground, helping them amplify their reach, share knowledge globally and drive transformative change.
GLFx chapters typically focus on community stewardship, ecosystem restoration, and other environmentally sustainable activities that promote long-term resilience.

In addition, selected chapters will gain access to the Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) network, which offers:
