2.1 ການອະທິບາຍ ໂດຍຫຍໍ້ ຂອງວິທີທາງ

The Municipal Pastureland Planning approach was developed collaboratively with key national and local stakeholders to establish a structured, evidence-based decision support framework for sustainable rangeland governance. This system consolidates and presents data from diverse stakeholder groups in a format fully compatible with the Land Degradation Neutrality Framework, ensuring that planning aligns with both environmental and socio-economic objectives.

2.2 ການອະທິບາຍ ລາຍລະອຽດ ຂອງວິທີທາງ

ການອະທິບາຍ ລາຍລະອຽດ ຂອງວິທີທາງ:

The Municipal Pastureland Planning approach was developed through close collaboration with national and municipal stakeholders, and was designed to operate at two interrelated levels, as defined by the National Pastureland Management Policy Concept and forthcoming Law on Pasture Management, namely:
1. Upper tier planning - Participatory pasture planning at the municipal scale.
2. Lower tier implementation - Pasture management planning and SLM technology application at the level of individual pasture units (which was piloted in villages and is the subject of the WOCAT database entry on the “Controlled Grazing” technology).
To achieve these goals and provide a practical model for other municipalities and national policy, the Municipal Pastureland Planning approach piloted included the following components:
a) spatial distribution of pastures according to ownership forms and use regimes (identification of common use pastures and pastures for leasing);
b) identification of pasture users and number of livestock according to administrative units and municipal census;
c) Assessment of current practices of livestock farming and pasture use;
d) Analyses of the results of pasture monitoring or pastures multi-factor assessments including land degradation rates (see the WOCAT database entry on the Participatory Rangeland and Grassland Assessment - PRAGA);
e) Identification and stakeholder consensus of priority pastures for restoration and measures for their restoration;
f) Assessment of optimal pasture carrying capacity and actual stocking rates;
g) Investments needed in pasture infrastructure development;
h) Implementation plan and estimated budget; and
j) Monitoring programme for the implementation of the plan and corrective measures.
Municipal Pastureland Planning functions as a stepwise instruction manual for carrying out these components in accordance with the Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) conceptual framework. The process can require access to cadastral and land tenure data, often requiring coordination and approval from local and state authorities to ensure access and consistency across datasets.
The participatory stakeholder approach has brought to light common themes across the three pilot municipalities:
•The critical need to formalize access rights and clarify pasture tenure;
•Challenges related to low organizational capacity among pasture users;
•The importance of community engagement for identifying investment priorities and restoration areas; and
•The necessity of linking local-level decisions to national LDN targets and broader agricultural strategies.
Ultimately, Municipal Pastureland Planning provides Georgia with a replicable framework for achieving LDN at multiple governance levels. By combining spatial data analysis, stakeholder participation, and evidence-based planning, it strengthens municipal capacity, supports sustainable land use, and contributes directly to the national LDN targets — particularly Target #1 (mainstreaming LDN into policies and planning) and Target #4 (rehabilitation of degraded lands). The experience gained through the pilot municipalities demonstrates that structured, participatory pasture planning can serve as a cornerstone for sustainable rural development and the long-term resilience of Georgia’s pastures and grazed ecosystems.
The approach was developed and tested under the GEF-funded project “Achieving Land Degradation Neutrality Targets of Georgia through Restoration and Sustainable Management of Degraded Pasturelands (GCP/GEO/006/GFF)”, which piloted the participatory approach through the development of municipal-scale pasture plans for three Georgian municipalities.

Municipal Pastureland Planning aims to support sustainable management of pasturelands at the municipal level in alignment with Georgia’s Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) targets and National Agricultural and Rural Development Strategy. Designed to link municipal authority, land user, and policy decision-making, it provides a structured, transparent, and participatory framework and forum to assess pasture conditions, identify land tenure (both legal and informal), and prioritize restoration or investment efforts. The approach emphasizes evidence-based planning through tools like the Municipal Pastureland Assessment & Monitoring System, combining remote sensing, field data, and stakeholder input to guide long-term decision-making.

By integrating LDN principles, the approach ensures that pasture planning is inclusive, informed, and adaptable, with municipal-wide pasture management plans developed on three to five-year cycles. It focuses on aligning stakeholder goals, transforming data into practical policies, and directing resources to areas showing signs of degradation or ecological change. Ultimately, this approach not only facilitates local-level action but also contributes to broader landscape-scale restoration and national land management objectives, offering a replicable model for scaling up sustainable pastureland practices across Georgia.

It has been integrated into the national government's National Pastureland Management Policy Concept and forthcoming Law on Pasture Management through the efforts of the project's implementation partners.

  • ອໍານວຍ

Georgia’s long-standing history of rural cooperation and communal resource management provides a strong foundation for the development of inclusive, municipality-wide pasture management strategies. In Georgia, the lowest level of administrative governance is the municipality (which includes many villages). Therefore, the municipality was chosen as the most appropriate unit for planning.

  • ເຊື່ອງຊ້ອນ

Georgia’s Soviet past disrupted traditional systems of rural cooperation by replacing community-based land management with centralized state control, leading to a loss of local autonomy and trust in formal institutions.

  • ອໍານວຍ

Georgian rural livestock producers have seen gradual improvements in access to financial resources through government programs like the Preferential Agro Credit Program, which offers subsidized loans, and support from international development projects that provide grants, technical training, and infrastructure development. Some microfinance institutions and rural banks also offer agricultural loans, and there has been progress in expanding veterinary services and market access in more accessible regions.

  • ເຊື່ອງຊ້ອນ

Many livestock producers lack formal land ownership or collateral, making it difficult for them to qualify for loans. Limited financial literacy and weak extension services further constrain their access to finance. In remote and mountainous areas, financial institutions are scarce, and agriculture is often perceived by lenders as high-risk, resulting in limited investment and low uptake of insurance and credit services. Consequently, small-scale producers struggle to secure affordable credit or investment to improve their herds, upgrade infrastructure, or diversify their income, thereby constraining growth.

The Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture (MEPA) has been a principal proponent of the project, in addition to its National Agency for Sustainable Land Management and Land Use Monitoring (NASLM), together with the Ministry of Regional Development and National Agency of the State Property (legal entity under the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development). With MEPA at the forefront, these entities have been working to develop nation-wide responses to land degradation and sustainable land management initiatives.

  • ເຊື່ອງຊ້ອນ

While the project addresses land tenure issues for specific communities where it worked, Georgia’s legal framework for land tenure and resource use is largely inhibiting for local livestock producers. Centralized control over pastureland, short-term leasing, and lack of secure or communal land rights limit producers’ ability to plan and invest long-term. Incomplete land registration and weak water and grazing regulations further undermine resource access and sustainability.

  • ອໍານວຍ

The National Pasturelands Management Policy Concept has been developed with support of the project and validated through stakeholder workshops. The document contributes to the implementation of LDN priorities, sets out the vision and principles for pasturelands governance and management, defines issues of ownership and rights, institutional arrangements, economic and fiscal aspects, land use planning and monitoring. Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of the NPMPD is completed and assess the potential environmental and human health impacts resulting from the implementation of the NPMPD and provides recommendations for preventing, reducing and mitigating the potential impacts. The legislation framework on ``Pasturelands Management`` developed based on NPMPD with a focus on the implementation of LDN principles. The project provides support to the MEPA in discussions of the legislative package on Pasturelands Management with interested Ministries, other governmental and non-governmental organizations.

  • ເຊື່ອງຊ້ອນ

Despite reforms, most pastureland remains under centralized state control, limiting local and municipal authority over land management. Small, fragmented landholdings, weak tenure security, and widespread land degradation hinder sustainable livestock production. Additionally, unclear legal frameworks and the absence of a unified land administration body complicate policy implementation and reduce the effectiveness of land use planning.

  • ເຊື່ອງຊ້ອນ

Land governance in Georgia largely inhibits livestock production due to centralized decision-making and limited authority for local communities over pasture management. Implementation of land reforms is slow, with many areas lacking formal land registration, which undermines tenure security. Additionally, weak enforcement and unclear responsibilities contribute to ongoing environmental degradation and inefficient land use.

  • ເຊື່ອງຊ້ອນ

While Sustainable Land Management (SLM) practices are known and applied, the contextual support systems, including agricultural policies, rural demographics, and livestock herding culture, are undergoing significant change. Knowledge and technology gaps limit access to modern farming techniques, improved breeding technologies, and effective extension services, thereby constraining productivity gains.

Markets and prices in Georgia present mixed challenges for livestock producers: while there are opportunities to sell products domestically and access inputs, limited market infrastructure, especially in rural areas, and high input costs often restrict profitability. Price volatility and competition from imports also make it difficult for small producers to secure stable incomes.

ວຽກ, ມີກໍາລັງຄົນ
  • ເຊື່ອງຊ້ອນ

The availability of labour for rural livestock producers in Georgia is generally inhibiting. Many rural areas face outmigration, especially of younger and working-age populations, leading to labor shortages and an aging workforce. This demographic shift limits the capacity of small-scale livestock producers to maintain or expand their operations, while also reducing the transfer of traditional skills and knowledge critical for effective livestock management.

ອື່ນໆ
  • ອໍານວຍ

Veterinary infrastructure has improved in recent years, with support from government programs and international donors helping to reduce livestock diseases and improve productivity.
Donor and Government Support Programs, through various initiatives by the EU, UNDP, IFAD, and others provide training, infrastructure support, and capacity building to livestock farmers have led to improved production techniques and market access.

  • ເຊື່ອງຊ້ອນ

Poor rural infrastructure — including roads, cold storage, and transportation — limits market access and reduces the quality and shelf life of livestock products. Increasing climate variability, recurrent droughts, and ongoing land degradation further threaten pasture productivity and resilience. At the same time, declining water availability makes livestock farming increasingly risky and less predictable.

Land users who practice livestock grazing, wild harvesting and other community uses for the land, plus representatives from transhumance herding communities.

Individual land users and land user representatives formed part of the municipal pastureland planning process. They attended meetings in three roles, as potential users of the infrastructure and SLM technologies, as decisionmakers on the daily grazing approaches and patterns being applied to the land and as highly knowledgeable experts on the conditions of the local pastures and their management history.

  • ອົງການຈັດຕັ້ງ ພາຍໃນຊຸມຊົນ

Community-based organisations of special interest are those that represent and speak on behalf of land users, SLM and other natural resource management issues, though the meetings and forums are open to all.

Community-based organisations play a crucial role in representing local interests and promoting the values and objectives of rural populations. In the context of municipal-scale pastureland planning, they often represent specific interest groups.

Experts in land management, natural resource management, ecology, and related advisory services are important contributors to municipal-scale planning processes.

It is recommended these experts be invited to comment, critique and enhance the quality of the Municipal Pastureland Planning, contributing with their knowledge and experience in land management and markets. Care needs to be taken to provide good facilitators so the experts don't dominate the conversations and outcomes.

  • ອົງການຈັດຕັ້ງ ທີ່ບໍ່ຂື້ນກັບລັດຖະບານ

NGOs and special interest groups can provide valuable perspectives on societal issues relevant to the Municipal Pastureland Planning process, particularly those connected to nature conservation, livestock and herding traditions, gastronomic heritage, and the preservation of rural livelihoods.

Their role would be to speak on their concerns and contribute to the resulting Municipal Pastureland Plan from their perspectives.

Private sector roles of interest would be those with links to the agricultural/livestock sector, food industries, tourism or other influential or impacted private sector companies.

Private sector companies and industries have a stake in the way the landscape is managed, especially those that depend on raw agricultural materials or tourism to generate financial returns. At the same time, proper landscape management is vital to reduce climatic or economic risks which can affect the private sector in many ways.

Georgia's national government, specifically the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture, and Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development and the Ministry of Regional Development, are key stakeholders in this approach.

The National Government has incorporated the Municipal Pastureland Planning approach into the ``National Pasturelands Management Policy Concept`` and accompanying draft law and which were tested with the support of the project. While planning and monitoring take place at Municipal scales, the aggregation of this data at the national level can support the LDN voluntary target reporting and inform further policy development for Georgia's pasture and rangelands.

ຄວາມຄິດເຫັນ:

Monitoring and evaluation would be conducted through multiple channels. The Participatory Rangeland and Grassland Assessment (PRAGA) would serve as one important source of information for municipal planning discussions, alongside other relevant socio-economic and environmental data. The planning process itself provides a structured forum through which informed, community-based recommendations for the management of municipal grasslands can be presented, discussed, and refined.

The Municipal Pastureland Planning approach consists principally in communicating and hosting meetings, so it is not seen as a prohibitive cost. It is expected to coordinate diverse stakeholders into more cohesive grazing patterns and improve productivity of pastures which would benefit the municipal coffers if taxes on sales of livestock products were to increase. It therefore could be considered if done properly a 'wealth-generating expense', that could potentially be linked to changes in management through the land degradation maps and surveys.

And did so across multiple scales. The approach integrated national and municipal level data with insights from participatory inputs and field surveys, creating a robust evidence base. The Municipal Pastureland Planning process then serves as a key forum for presenting this verified information, enabling informed decision-making on how best to invest in and sustain Georgia’s grasslands.

While the approach can provide a list of potential LDN responses that would be recommended for different types of land degradation issues, it would be the responsibility of the land users to apply the technologies. The technology considered most appropriate in the case of the project was 'Controlled Grazing'.

The approach addresses pasture tenure and use rights by identifying common-use pasture areas within municipalities, thereby establishing a foundation for facilitating pasture use rights to local users. Special agreements between municipal administrations and local users’ unions will be concluded to regulate the use of common pastures, including provisions to ensure their sustainable management. Clarifying land tenure and use rights is a critical first step toward Sustainable Land Management (SLM), and the National Pastureland Management Policy Concept was developed in response to this fact. These efforts also meet UNCCD–FAO recommendations regarding Land Tenure issues which establish the importance of secure tenure arrangements in incentivising sustainable land use.

The Municipal Pastureland Planning approach does not include training, capacity building, or other agricultural extension services for land users. Instead, it focuses on coordinating funding, on-the-ground management, and the implementation of sustainable land management (SLM) practices. Its primary aim is to provide a strategic framework and overview for addressing land degradation in pasturelands at the municipal level.

The approach has strengthened institutional and stakeholder capacity to better understand the impacts of land degradation and assess the current ecological condition of various land cover types. It also creates a channel through which representatives of land users can communicate their observations and needs regarding local grasslands to municipal governments. This feedback can inform budget planning processes where feasible. On-the-ground collaboration may be further supported through Pasture User Groups or other informal associations and agreements, helping to coordinate sustainable land management (SLM) activities, particularly on pasturelands owned by the municipalities.

One of the objectives of the Pastures Use Planning at municipal level is to identify common use pastures, pastures for leasing, and the delineation of common use pastures to ensure a legal framework of access for local users. In this way, pasture use planning at a municipal level should greatly mitigate conflicts between land users and will improve issues of land tenure and therefore will support SLM.

Herders and small-scale livestock producers in Georgia are often among the most socially and economically disadvantaged groups. Involving them in decisions about funding priorities for improving local pastoral resources and addressing land degradation is an empowering process. It not only ensures that their needs are reflected in planning but can also foster a stronger sense of ownership and belonging within rural communities.

The Municipal Pastureland Planning approach will facilitate solutions to current pasture tenure/use rights issues by identifying pastures under common use at a municipal scale and will subsequently create an informed and legal basis for granting pasture use rights to local users. Clarified land tenure/use rights is the first step to SLM. Special agreements between municipalities administrations and local users unions will be concluded for use of the common use pasturelands, with the agreements including clear terms and mechanisms to ensure sustainable management of allocated pastures. The process aligns with the UNCCD-FAO guidelines on Land Tenure.

Introduction of SLM practices, such as Controlled Grazing, were seen to increase milk production of local cows and sheep accessing the pilot sites. This in turn led to improved nutrition for local rural households. The municipal planning process would indirect lead to these outcomes if properly done through addressing land degradation and increasing economic returns per ha of pastureland.

Improved pasture management that enhances vegetation cover and soil protection is a key climate change adaptation strategy. By maintaining permanent ground cover, healthy pastures reduce soil erosion, improve water retention, and buffer against extreme weather events such as droughts and floods (FAO, 2011). Practices such as rotational grazing, reseeding, and controlled stocking rates increase biomass productivity and soil organic carbon, thereby strengthening ecosystem resilience and supporting livelihoods under changing climate conditions (Smith et al., 2007; Thornton & Herrero, 2010). As such, sustainable pasture management not only restores degraded land but also helps communities adapt to the impacts of climate variability, maintaining livelihoods and increasing local market and industry opportunities.

Improved pasture management led to increased milk production rates in the pilot areas the GCF/GEO/006/GFF project was active, which also improved household nutrition and income. Therefore, the scaling of SLM practices and contextually adapted interventions in areas where Land Degradation is or could be an issue is expected to increase pasture productivity, employment and income opportunities for rural municipal communities.

Clear and secure common-use land tenure for village pastures in Georgia reduces conflict by defining transparent rights and responsibilities among users. Legal clarity minimizes overlapping claims and disputes over grazing areas or boundaries. Participatory land-use planning reinforces this by involving communities in decisions that reflect local needs and traditional practices. Together, these measures promote fairness, trust, and cooperation, leading to more peaceful and sustainable pasture management. When SLM technologies are applied, we also expect to see greater pasture productivity and water availability through the reduction of bare ground and overgrazing.

Yes, because the municipal planning process and changes in land tenure policies allows municipalities to permit community access to pasturelands granted they introduce SLM practices, and baseline maps and plans have now been jointly created with land users, which in itself provides a basis of understanding and continuity. In addition, the approach outlined here will soon be enshrined in the forthcoming Law on Pasture Management, ensuring sustainability and practice at least in the short to mid term.

The Municipal Pastureland Planning process allows for the capacity of land users to communicate to Municipal and potentially National administrators their observations and needs in terms of pastureland management and health.
It offers a mechanism for setting priorities in funding and investment, communicating to land users that economic constraints are a reality for public administrations. At the same time, it enables local communities to see how their voices and input can influence decisions and contribute to the development of more productive and well-managed landscapes.
The planning process also presents the findings of the PRAGA assessments on the condition and health of pastures at the municipal scale, informing communities and their representatives about the most degraded areas and those at risk. This offers them a clear overview of how local land management practices affect the municipality as a whole.

The health and productivity of the pastures and grasslands of the municipality is addressed as a whole, providing a clear picture for participants and raising awareness of the impacts of land degradation to specific landscapes and communities. It also would show evolution and trends over time as the yearly monitoring cycles of PRAGA were incorporated and presented to the group. These trends and evolution could be linked to management and solutions could be found to lift productivity and pasture health.
In accordance with the draft law aligned with the National Pastureland Management Policy Concept, municipal pastureland management plans will be adopted by both municipal and central government authorities, providing legal basis for common-use management and tenure, as well as monitoring systems to ensure sustainable land use. These municipal pasture management plans are also expected to serve as a foundation for budget planning at both central and local levels, establishing clear mechanisms for information sharing, funding allocation, and policy at all governmental levels in order to address degradation and loss of pastoral resources and heritage.
While the results of the planning process are not binding and do not impose funding requirements onto Municipal administrations, the process is an excellent means to capture what land users see as their priorities for investment for community pastures and livestock infrastructure. These investments could have a potentially generate strong economic returns given that increased pasture productivity has been shown to improve household nutrition, income and marketing opportunities.
Pastures and grasslands cover approximately 1.7 to 1.9 million hectares of Georgia, around 25% of the country’s total land area, and comprise about 50% of its agricultural land. However, there are currently no established forums or mechanisms to bring together stakeholders on a regular basis to discuss the condition and future of these resources. Likewise, solutions to land degradation and mismanagement, including sustainable land management (SLM) practices, are not being developed or implemented through a collaborative, cohesive approach at the scales needed. This Municipal Pastureland Planning process would be such a forum and mechanism for improved management at a municipal scale.

Not all land users can participate in the municipal scale planning process. Proper identification of community based organisations or groups is essential and in some cases, groups who speak for land users about pastures may need to be created, i.e. Pasture User Groups
There is so much that needs attention and no one is willing to pay for interventions or solutions. Incentivising proper management and pasture works and investment will require more formalised management and decision making structures than currently exist. Many times, the resources needed to implement SLM are already available in the communities so finding the right incentives to mobilise time, labour and investment through a formalised organisation.
People are invested in their current mindset and land management structures and revert back to their old ways once project or municipal funding stops. Tackling land management issues and degradation can be addressed at scale through participatory planning process that value land user opinion and recommendations. Success stories and pilot lessons learnt need to be shared and communities need to be supported in the transition to more collaborative, coordinated grazing approaches that provide for more pasture productivity and wildlife/habitat conservation and alignment with Georgia's 5 LDN National targets.

Both the Municipal and Central (MEPA/NASLM) governments need to organise, lead and demonstrate that the results of the Municipal Pastureland Planning process were taken into consideration in the municipal budgeting procedure. While benefits to the municipal planning process are clear, they also require investment and efforts on part of the municipal government. Showcasing success stories and potential economic benefits of such a planning process directly to municipal authorities might be the best route to encourage adoption of this approach.
All land users and communities will try to prioritise investments in their areas at the expense of highly degraded sites. This is where the findings from the PRAGA reports and maps will be essential, as well as application of the LDN Conceptual Framework and the LDN response hierarchy which allows for more stable and utilised lands to be addressed first. These provide clear indications of the extent and intensity of land degradation which should guide decision making. Well prepared, experienced facilitator is also a necessity for a successful planning process and result.
Well prepared meetings and experienced facilitators are vital to success. The scope and scale of the planning process will bring to light many underlying issues and tensions; it is very possible the meeting will hear frustrations and outburst. However, the scale and importance of pasture and grazing lands in the Georgian economy necessitates informed decision making and action to ensure this resource is well managed and available to future generations.
Obtaining highly accurate data on the spatial distribution of pasturelands within municipalities, their actual use by local communities or transhumance herders, and precise reporting of livestock numbers grazing these pastures will be challenging. Pastures Identification and official registration in public register (that is required by the policy concept and draft law) will be first step to obtain accurate maps on pasturelands spatial distribution. The ongoing programme National Animal Identification and Traceability System in Georgia (NAITS) will support identification of livestock numbers by villages and allow for identification and allocation of the common use pastures within the municipality.
Success of the planning process requires the central and municipal governments have a clear vision of the criteria for identifying common-use pastures. Much of the criteria has been established through the work of the project partners and presented in the National Pastureland Management Policy Concept, though they will require consistent review and policy reform once the pasture law comes into effect.
The planning process itself will be complex and lengthy, and a successful outcome will require good organization and strong facilitation by both central and local governments. A clear facilitation role and lead entity will need to be identified that has sufficient capacity and mandate to implement the Municipal Pastureland Planning approach. The NASLM has been tasked with this responsibility.
