About the KM:Land project
ENSURING IMPACTS FROM SLM: DEVELOPMENT OF A GLOBAL INDICATOR SYSTEM
A major barrier to Sustainable Land Management (SLM) in drylands is the lack of knowledge management for mitigating land degradation. Knowledge Management includes information management and dissemination, as well as knowledge enhancement and capacity building for adaptive management.
The GEF-funded KM:Land project aims to lay the foundations for a comprehensive system to track progress across the GEF Land Degradation Focal Area.
This project is executed by UNU-INWEH in collaboration with the implementing agency UNDP.
