FAO works in collaboration with the World Overview of Conservation Approaches and Technologies (WOCAT) to address land degradation at global, regional and national scales, and different levels of decision-making. In this context, the GEF-funded FAO project GCP/GLO/337/GFF on “Decision Support for Mainstreaming and Scaling up of Sustainable Land Management (DS-SLM)” is being implemented in 15 countries across the world and facilitates the mainstreaming and scaling out of SLM. A Decision Support Framework has been developed, which provides guidance to countries on scaling up SLM. It links Land Degradation and SLM assessment tools at different levels which are embedded into the development of a strategy and action plan for mainstreaming, scaling up and out of SLM.

Land degradation reduces food productivity and security, disrupts vital ecosystem functions and increases carbon emissions and vulnerability to climate change. 52 percent of the land used for agriculture worldwide is estimated to already be affected. Studies indicate that land degradation directly affects 1.5 billion people around the world. Despite the seriousness of the issue, there is still limited access to resources and planning tools for sustainable land management. Between 2015 to 2019, FAO implemented the project ''Decision support for mainstreaming and scaling up of sustainable land management (DS-SLM)’’ at a global level across 15 countries. The aim of the project was to improve access to information on land management best practices. The final evaluation examines the impacts and sustainability of the project results. What has contributed to, or hindered, the implementation of the planned activities? What has been the effect of linkages and partnerships between the project and other major country initiatives?
