Synopsis (short abstract) Various land assessment options are available and suitable to be applied at a landscape scale for planning and management of natural resources and ecosystems so that climate smart agriculture (CSA) interventions can be fed in. The Transboundary Agro-ecosystem Management Project for the Kagera River Basin (Kagera TAMP), funded by GEF and implemented by FAO, has the goal to adopt an integrated ecosystems approach for the management of land resources in the basin (shared by Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, and Tanzania). This is expected to generate local, national and global benefits including: restoration of degraded lands, carbon sequestration and climate change adaptation, agro-biodiversity conservation and sustainable use and improved agricultural production leading to increased food security and improved rural livelihoods and indirectly protect of international waters. In this framework, an assessment and mapping of the land degradation and sustainable land management bright and hotspots is under finalization and is being used to inform the project intervention strategy, identify best practices in the region, and guide effective and responsive Sustainable Land Management (SLM) intervention. The evaluation of SLM results is expected to advise policy making, planning and budgetary allocations, through supporting the analysis of major barriers to land resources conservation/management, and serving as baseline for future integrated landscape management approaches.
