Goals of LDBA

• Build an effective knowledge base & network • Support the development of adaptive capacity for

climate change • Provide support to existing platforms for policy

dialogue • Promote innovative actions & strategic

projects/interventions • Establish and document linkages with environment and

ecosystems to economic growth and poverty reduction

LDBA Will Contribute to:

Millennium Development Goals

LDBA Implementation Strategy

• A complex and cross-cutting programme, including:– A logical framework indicating the objectives, impact, outcomes,

outputs, performance indicators and activities – as well as M&E – Strategy of risk assessment and mitigation measures

• Strong resource mobilization to ensure sustainability

• A Multi Donor Trust Fund for the LDBA (and other Flagship Programmes), with resources from country, continental & sub-regional contributions as well as from partners

• Actions responding to MEAs – contributions from various relevant funding

How can the LDBA support integrated landscape management in Africa ?

THANK YOU.
