Guidelines for the national assessment and mapping of land degradation and conservation

These guidelines are designed to support and guide national experts and institutions in preparing and implementing participatory national and subnational assessments of LD and SLM in a stepwise approach. They were produced within the framework of the DS-SLM project to enable national authorities in the 15 countries involved in the DS-SLM project to increase their understanding and application of LADA–WOCAT mapping tools.
