Appraising and selecting SLM strategies (WOCAT-DESIRE methodology)


A methodology based on stakeholder participation and global best practices

This three-part procedure for identification, assessment and selection of strategies has been developed by the EU project DESIRE in collaboration with WOCAT. The methodology is being tested by DESIRE in 16 study sites around the world and will be used in various WOCAT initiatives. Further testing and application is welcome!
