Ibiti Projecto

1. estatuas

Ibiti Projecto is a socio-environmental project focused on another way of inhabiting the planet, respectful and regenerative. Here, immersive and authentic hospitality serves a wider project: rewilding of 6,000 hectares, reintroduction of endangered species, sustainable production of organic food and the revival of a rural community. Premium eco-tourism experiences are transformative both to the travelers and to the place). Ibiti Projecto is a testimony that authentic place-based development can generate measurable social and environmental impact as well as financial returns.

Challenge

To establish IbiLand as the first Living Lab in a global regenerative hospitality movement – a demonstrator of how hospitality can be a catalyst for regeneration of ecosystems, culture and communities, as well as a driver for inclusive prosperity. The Lab will be a learning and prototyping space to co-create methods and replicate net-positive hospitality practices worldwide.

WB Rural Logistics: Decarbonizing Rural logistics in the Sahel

Commissioned by the World Bank, this one-year regional study aimed to assess the enabling environment for scaling rural logistics systems that are both climate-resilient and low-carbon. Regenopolis, in partnership with GRID Engineers and ES Partners, delivered a deep-dive analysis of rural transport infrastructure and accessibility across Senegal, Mauritania, Burkina Faso, Chad, and Niger, with a focus on linking logistics planning to the growth of local agricultural value chains and inclusive development in fragile, climate-vulnerable areas.

Regen Cities : A systemic framework for regenerative urban development

Regen Cities is a flagship program developed by Regenopolis in 2022 to support the emergence of regenerative urban ecosystems across Africa. It aims to bridge the gap between impactful local solutions and investment capital by building enabling infrastructure for project origination, incubation, and financing. The program is structured around three integrated pillars : Regen Hubs (local project incubators), Regen Tech (access to vetted solutions), and Regen Capital (a blended finance platform).

ESP Climate Hub : Mainstreaming regeneration in African Business Support

In order to accelerate the deployment of regenerative urban ecosystems, Regenopolis partnered with ES Partners to design a dedicated program embedding climate and nature considerations into the heart of SME support in Africa. Initially envisioned as a platform to catalyze regenerative city projects, this collaboration evolved into the creation of the ESP Climate Hub – a transversal initiative aiming to mainstream climate resilience, nature-positive development, and regenerative practices across all ESP activities.
