This project is the foundation of the Wyss Academy's broader work in Naibunga and Ol Donyiro. Its core focus is strengthening governance structures, advancing strategic partnerships, and developing the knowledge systems that guide the design, monitoring, and continuous learning of all projects and the connections between them.  

A defining feature of the project is its attention to reinforcing feedback loops: the mechanisms that allow systems thinking to be applied effectively to the complex challenges facing these rangelands. By identifying and nurturing these dynamics, the project helps individual endeavors reinforce one another rather than operate in isolation, generating results that no single project could achieve alone.

This coordinating and learning layer is also where the Wyss Academy makes its distinctive contribution, in a context where many other actors are already engaged. It is how innovation, adaptability, and shared learning carry across all the projects, rather than staying within any single one.
