The document describes the WOCAT-LADA-DESIRE methodology which provides standardized tools for assessing land degradation and sustainable land management at local, national, and global scales. The methodology includes questionnaires, modules, and mapping tools to document SLM knowledge, characterize landscapes, assess livelihoods and ecosystem services, and support decision making. The goal is to build a joint knowledge management and decision support system to facilitate sharing experiences with SLM and inform efforts to scale up successful practices.

- 14. LADA local assessment Builds on experiences by 6 countries/ regions in developing and testing methods & tools. • Participatory process • Integrated landscape approach • Sampling strategy, tools & methods simple but robust • Livelihoods assessment • Analyse Impacts of LD & management practices on livelihoods and ecosystem services • Structured illustrated report and feedback for decision making
- 15. LADA local assessment cont. 4 field components (1) Characterisation of the study area • Focus group discussion • Transect walk: rapid assessment of LD & SLM (2) Detailed site assessment of land & water resources • Soil properties / soil health • Soil erosion • Vegetation and biodiversity • Water resources (3) Livelihood assessment • HH livelihood interview, drivers, causes and impacts • Discussion with land users / key informants (4) Analysis of impacts on Ecosystem Services

- 22. Use of tools for KM and DS • The various WOCAT-LADA-DESIRE tools complement each other at the different levels (local to global) • Stimulates self-evaluation and encourages learning by comparing experiences within SLM initiatives • Serves for informed choices & decision making • Practices have to be modified and adapted to the specific local context • Assist monitoring and adaptation of implemented SLM practices
- 23. Conclusions • New efforts towards SLM should build on existing knowledge from within a location itself or from similar environment • Standardized and harmonized methodology for data collection, knowledge management and dissemination • UNCCD should take a leading role in bringing all the partners together for joint knowledge management and decision support
