WOCAT’s vision is that land and livelihoods are improved through sharing and enhancing knowledge about sustainable land management.

WOCAT’s mission is to support innovation and decision-making processes in sustainable land management (SLM), particularly in connection with soil and water conservation (SWC).

This is done by:

• connecting stakeholders,
• analysing and synthesising experiences and setting direction,
• enhancing capacity and knowledge,
• developing and applying standardized tools for documenting, monitoring, evaluating,
• sharing and using knowledge

WOCAT’s target group is:

• SLM specialists at the field level, including agricultural advisors, project implementers, and land users,
• SLM specialists at the (sub-)national level, including planners, project designers, decision makers, and researchers,
• SLM specialists at the regional and global levels, including international programme planners, and donors.
