Land governance, extension and advisory services, finance and market, local governance and cooperation models, together with monitoring and evaluation at all stages are important for the development of policy matrix towards sustainable land management (SLM) and climate-resilient agriculture. Addressing tenure insecurity at intra-household level by giving women access to landuse rights, legal recognition and protection of land tenure, involving different stakeholders in policy-making processes, and integration of SLM into community development plans are pivotal for development of the policy. In addition, adoption of ICT, incorporating externalities for making economic decisions, accounting for capital invested in the face of climate change, strengthening local and community governance structures, and development of voluntary guidelines on SLM in sync with local law are essential elements for the development of such a policy.

Abstract


Land governance, extension and advisory services, finance and market, local governance and cooperation models, together with monitoring and evaluation at all stages are important for the development of policy matrix towards sustainable land management (SLM) and climate-resilient agriculture. Addressing tenure insecurity at intra-household level by giving women access to landuse rights, legal recognition and protection of land tenure, involving different stakeholders in policy-making processes, and integration of SLM into community development plans are pivotal for development of the policy. In addition, adoption of ICT, incorporating externalities for making economic decisions, accounting for capital invested in the face of climate change, strengthening local and community governance structures, and development of voluntary guidelines on SLM in sync with local law are essential elements for the development of such a policy.
