Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetRehabilitating degraded lands and soils prone to wind erosion in the Islamic Republic of Iran 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Benefitting from the financial support of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Global Environment Facility (GEF), FAO in collaboration with the Forest, Range & Watershed Management Organization, is implementing the ‘Rehabilitation of Forest Landscapes and Degraded Land with Particular Attention to Saline Soils and Areas Prone to Wind Erosion’ project in the country to remove key barriers to community-based and integrated Sustainable Land and Forest Management (SLFM). The Organization is focused on (i) strengthening the capacity of local communities and provincial institutions to plan, adopt and evaluate participatory SLFM initiatives at the village and watershed scales; (ii) providing sustainable alternative livelihood options; and (iii) enhancing capacity at the national level to mainstream these approaches into country-wide plans, policies and processes. -
Book (series)Terminal evaluation of the project "Integrated Natural Resources Management in Degraded Landscapes in the Forest-Steppe Zone of Ukraine"
Project code: GCP/UKR/004/GFF, GEF ID: 9813
2024Also available in:
No results found.The project’s objective was to promote the restoration of degraded landscapes in the forest-steppe and steppe zones of Ukraine by scaling up integrated natural resources management practices. The project was particularly relevant in terms of environmental degradation and climate change, as it took important first steps towards a land degradation neutrality monitoring system and integrated land use management plans in Ukraine, thus contributing to the enhanced integration of environmental policy into governance systems.Despite challenges caused by the ongoing war, the project’s activities and incentives stand out as good practices to replicate. The project significantly implemented successful capacity building, which led to increased information sharing and the development of draft laws on environmental protection. Numerous demonstration and capacity building activities on good conservation agricultural practices and enhanced technologies like no till drill, subsurface drip irrigation, crop rotation and sustainable shelterbelt management generated greater awareness. In addition, promising income generation activities for women were implemented successfully. -
BookletTerminal evaluation of the project "Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Land Management in the Soda Saline-alkaline Wetlands Agropastoral Landscapes in the Western Area of the Jilin Province"
Project code: GCP/CPR/048/GFF - GEF ID 4632
2024Also available in:
No results found.The project proved to be highly consistent with the priorities of FAO and the government, and designed to meet the needs of the beneficiaries. The project effectively adopted an inclusive co-creation approach to foster adoption of sustainable land and water management and development of innovative agrobiodiversity conservation practices. The design was ambitious but interventions were well targeted. There has been substantial progress towards long-term impact, viewed by stakeholders as largely attributable to the project. Changes made by the project to policies, plans, legal provisions and regulations increase the likelihood of long-term, sustainable impacts, and there was extensive evidence found in positive changes in field-level practices by farmers and wetland managers. The project had high additionality, facilitating a unified cross-sectoral approach to deliver a suite of soil, water, environmental and socioeconomic benefits that are unlikely to have occurred without the support of the Global Environment Facility.
