Thai Best Practices Book

The goal of the compendium is to strengthen the contributions of SLM methodological assessments, tools and knowledge to support and solve the problem of desertification, land degradation and drought and key decision-making processes for the uptake of SLM country best practices in long-term support for the implementation of SLM by an integration with national, sub-national, and local actions.
