6.1 Impactos da abordagem

6.4 Pontos fortes/vantagens da abordagem

Pontos fortes/vantagens/oportunidades na visão do usuário da terra
Temporary job creation (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Not sustainable if there are no follow up projects)
Improved natural resource condition (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Maintain structures / control invasive plants / implement grazing system)
Contractor empowered with unique SWC methods - niche market (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Continue empowerment with training and informatin sharing. He has to advertise his services.)

Pontos fortes/vantagens/oportunidades na visão do/a compilador/a ou de outra pessoa capacitada
Empowerment of community with knowledge and skills (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Ensure the adaption and implementation of structures and maintenance of current structures)
Empowerment of contractor (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Follow up projects and work for private sector)
Holistic approach towards environmental problems (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: systems approach deal with real causes of degradation. More partnerships and more stakholders involved.)
Cost effective methods to control soil conservation (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: More on-site research andawareness of test method technologies and approaches.)
Alien plant control (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Follow up and more research monitoring and evaluation)
Improved veld management (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Monitoring and evaluation)

6.5 Pontos fracos, desvantagens da tecnologia e formas de superá-los

Pontos fracos/desvantagens/riscos na visão do usuário da terra	Como eles podem ser superados?
No ownership of land (land tennure - commonage)	Review use of commonages - need new policy
Low educational levels - difficalt to train, learn new technologies	Continue education, training and awareness
Contractor needs administrative empowerment	Capacity building

Pontos fracos/vantagens/riscos na visão do/a compilador/a ou de outra pessoa capacitada	Como eles podem ser superados?
Lack of local expertise in SWC structures / small structures	Continue with researh and information shareing at national / international level.
Capacity on project management side	More and better trained project managers.
Financial support: Huge problem - small budget	Convince national donors about extent and degree of degradation problems. Look for private donors.
Politics exclude commercial farmers - project coud have bigger impact	Decision for restoration and conservation must be based on ecological needs and not political agendas.
