End Product(s)

CSV of the restoration metrics recorded at each geolocated sample point; ability to visualize the data and see basic statistics in the Data Reporting System.

The Regreening App is a mobile Android application that lets users collect data on a range of restoration practices at the farm level. Users can take pictures and enter the locations of their restoration interventions and record additional details like plot boundaries, land ownership, tree species, tree height and diameter, land cover, and management practices. Users can collect data offline and upload it to the Regreening App’s Data Reporting System (DRS) database once they have internet access.

The Regreening App contains four modules to help users capture different restoration practices: tree planting, farmer managed natural regeneration (FMNR), nursery establishment, and capacity development. Each module has a different survey with specifically tailored questions. The app was originally developed to support Regreening Africa, an initiative that aims to restore 1 million hectares of degraded land across eight countries in sub-Saharan Africa, but can be used anywhere. To use the full functionality of the app(including being able to download a CSV or visualize data on the DRS) users should contact Muhammad Ahmad (M.Ahmad@cgiar.org) or Tor-Gunnar Vagen (t.vagen@cgiar.org) at ICRAF to create a free account and register their project.
