    The Healthy Soils Facility (generally referred to as the “Facility” in the present programme document) has been formulated in response to a specific request from the Plenary Assembly of the Global Soil Partnership (GSP) at its first meeting of June 2013. This Facility is meant to constitute a major “operational arm” of the GSP, and needs to operate in a context of major threats against limited soil resources in all regions and consequent urgent need for countries to take collective and individua l action to reverse worrisome trends. In fact, it should be one of the concrete expressions of the new momentum for action and cooperation on soils, as embodied by the recently launched Partnership. In this light, the Facility is designed to align resource partners (constituting an effective multi-partner platform) willing to join forces in support of the GSP, as it allows both for a cogent approach and full consistency with the GSP objectives. At the same time, it will maintain visibility of, a nd accountability for the underlying approved projects (to be financed either via the multilateral Trust Fund modality when resource partners so wish, or bilateral Trust Fund arrangements). Therefore, resource partners should be able to support those components and activities outlined in this document which correspond most closely to their own strategic and geographical preferences, while having the assurance that their contributions would be part of a global, coherent set of interventions. The intended substantive thrusts of the Facility dovetail with the five Pillars and attendant Plans of Action of the GSP. In effect, its main components are mapped to these Pillars throughout. It fully builds on FAO’s comparative advantages and corresponds most closely to the Organization’s Strategic Objective 2.
