Caroline Dama is the country director of Green World Campaign Kenya, where she has worked since 2013. Her work sees her engage with schools, youth groups, and community groups, especially farmers in coastal and Arid &Semi-Arid lands, where she works to establish resilient food and water catchment systems, building their capacity through economic empowerment and adaptation of sustainable and regenerative farming practices.

She has designed projects that aim to build the capacity of schools to be action learning centres that communities can access to learn and subsequently replicate projects in their farms and communal lands that are anchored in nature-based solutions embracing and leveraging on place-sourced Indigenous community solutions.

The solutions drive actions to protect, conserve, restore, and sustainably use and manage ecosystems in a way that addresses social, economic and environmental challenges based on their diverse and unique set of challenges, thus ensuring overall sustainability as communities co-design and take ownership of their solutions.

She has won awards for her work in food security, environmental conservation and the use of technology to bring economic empowerment with community-based digital vouchers that help communities tap into their inherent skills and resources.

Caroline holds a degree in Education (Arts), along with certificates in Land security and climate change – Geneva Centre for Security Policy, a certificate in advanced Human rights for indigenous People in Africa – University of Pretoria in South Africa, a certificate in Ecosystem Restoration – UNDP learning for Nature Program and a certificate in transformation for sustainable development – United Nations Staff College.

She mentors agribusinesses under the Restoration Factory Program under Bridge for Billions and WRI’s Land Accelerator Program.
