Forests make up 32.7% of the land area of Cote d'Ivoire, and the country is the world's largest exporter of cocoa beans. Cote d'Ivoire has committed to restore 5 million hectares of its land by 2030 through the Bonn Challenge.

Niger's economy is concentrated around subsistence and some export agriculture clustered in the more fertile south, and the export of raw materials, especially uranium ore. Niger commited to restore 3.2 million hectares as a contribution to the Bonn Challenge.

Uganda has experienced a sharp decline in forest cover, from 24% in 1990, to 9% in 2015, and land degradation which is associated with soil erosion is equally increasing. In order to mitigate this, Uganda has prioritised forest restoration through existing national targets and a Bonn Challenge pledge.
