Synopsis (short abstract) The Rehabilitation of Degraded Agricultural Lands (RDAL) project by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) and the Global Environment Facility (GEF), in partnership with the Government of Sri Lanka through the Ministry of Mahaweli Development and Environment (MMDE), aims to encourage the use of sustainable land management practices in agricultural lands in the central highlands of Sri Lanka. International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)’s role in this project involves developing innovative financing mechanisms to promote Sustainable Land Management (SLM). In order to achieve this, IUCN has formulated an approach which is laid out in this report the Innovative Financing Mechanisms for Promoting Sustainable Land Management (SLM). Developing innovative financing mechanisms that are tailored to the environmental, economic and socio-cultural context of paddy, vegetable, home garden and tea farmers in the central highlands of Sri Lanka will enable and promote the use of SLM practices which in turn will contribute to the rehabilitation and prevention of further degradation of these lands. This report is divided into two main parts where the first part is a general guideline to aid the identification and development of potential IFMs for sustainable land management in agricultural lands in Sri Lanka, and the second part outlines the process followed by IUCN to identify potential IFMs for the RDAL project.

    The DSL-IP is led by FAO, supported by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), and in partnership with the World Bank, International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and World Wildlife Fund (WWF), World Overview of Conservation Approaches and Technologies (WOCAT), and the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD). The USD 104 million funding under the GEF-7 funding cycle, along with over USD 800 million in co-financing, will assist 11 countries located across Africa and Asia in fostering resilience of production systems in drylands, promoting restoration and rehabilitation, and improving livelihoods through a comprehensive landscape approach. The program will crowd-in new collaborations with the private sector across multiple scales and civil society, especially organizations for rural indigenous youth and women, for enduring results and coherent action through whole-of society engagement.

    Land Resources planning (LRP) to address land degradation and promote sustainable land management 2018
    Also available in:
    The growing challenges of population growth, demands on limited resources by diverse actors, land degradation, biodiversity loss and climate change require the rational use of resources to sustain and enhance productivity and maintain resilient ecosystems. The availability of suitable planning tools and information to support the decision-makers at different scales and across sectors is limited. Sustainable development projects and initiatives implemented by resource partners and governments require updated land resource planning (LRP) tools that integrate all sectors, make better use of technology, introduce SLM practices and follow a people-centered multiscale approach. The factsheet wishes to illustrate tools and approaches for Land Resources Planning.
