WOCAT supports innovation and decision-making processes in Sustainable Land Management by:
WOCAT's Mission
1) building up and coordinating a global network of SLM specialists
2) developing standardized tools and methods for knowledge management and decision support
3) managing a global knowledge base on SLM and presenting the information through different media
4) enhancing capacity of involved actors (research, training, education)

The WOCAT Network
- Established in 1992
- Network 2014: Over 60 institutions worldwide (incl. Ministries, Universities, NGOs, International Centres, UN-Organisations, etc.)
- SLM experts, technicians, extension workers, planners, and decision makers (WOCAT target group)
- WOCAT is the primary recommended database for UNCCD reporting on SLM Best Practices
- Biennial International Workshop and Steering Meeting

WOCAT tools and methods
• Standardized questionnaires for documentation and evaluation of SLM technologies and approaches
• A global database for storage, search and exchange of SLM technologies and approaches
• A mapping tool for local and regional assessment of degradation and SLM (area coverage, degree and impacts)
• A decision support tool for selection and up-scaling of identified best practices using a 3-step framework
