2.1 Descrição curta da abordagem

In the framework of the project ‘Generating Economic and Environmental Benefits from Sustainable Land Management for Vulnerable Rural Communities of Georgia’, Land Degradation Neutrality Transformative Projects and Programmes (LDN-TPP) were developed to implement the LDN targets at municipal level.
The approach defines the process to break down global and international LDN targets and to translate these into local contributions from the municipalities of Gori, Kareli, Kvareli and Sagarejo.

2.2 Descrição detalhada da abordagem

Descrição detalhada da abordagem:

The three-year project ‘Generating Economic and Environmental Benefits from Sustainable Land Management for Vulnerable Rural Communities of Georgia' funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), is implemented by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and executed by the Regional Environmental Centre for the Caucasus (RECC). The initiator and beneficiary of the project is the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture of Georgia. Within this framework, Land Degradation Neutrality Transformative Projects and Programmes (LDN-TPP) were developed to implement the LDN targets at municipal level.
The project aims to create an enabling environment at the community level to achieve the country's goal of Gender Responsive Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN). The project supports local farmers to apply sustainable land management and climate-smart agricultural practices to promote food security and resilience in order to reduce the impacts of erosion, salinisation and soil fertility reduction in Sagarejo, Kvareli, Gori and Kareli on 20,000 ha of pilot land. As a result, it is expected that there will be an improved understanding of the economics of land degradation and integrated land use planning at national and sub-national levels. In the preceding approach recorded under WOCAT, namely ‘Integrated Land Use Plans (ILUPs) for sustainable agriculture and rural development with special emphasis on SLM, CSA and LDN in four municipalities [Georgia]’, ILUPs were developed for four municipalities providing a detailed spatial basis. A separate study (Ballesteros et al. 2020) compiled baseline information about LDN indicators.

This approach complements the ILUP. It combines the spatial information elaborated for land use planning, the LDN baseline information with national LDN targets, UNCCD principles for LDN and municipal stakeholder priorities to come up with a concrete plan for the municipal contribution to (inter)national targets. Thus, this approach serves to operationalise the national LDN targets at municipal level. At the time of documentation of this apporach, planning was completed and the participatory process for validation and decision-making for concrete targets had been initiated.

Taking this into account, a targeted programme was designed, which breaks down national targets into municipal targets with related activities and spatially explicit priority areas for implementation. This approach serves to operationalise LDN-related recommendations and proposed actions as presented and defined in the Integrated Land Use Plan. It seeks to define the contribution of the municipalities Gori, Kareli, Kvareli and Sagarejo to the achievement of national and global LDN targets.

The output is intended to serve as a starting point for local discussion (especially with the LDN Working Group) to further specify and prioritise the objectives and measures proposed. It provides a solid basis for discussing (a) concrete measures and (b) the areas best suited for these measures. The approach is documented in a consolidated document on how the municipality can contribute to the national LDN goals, based on the specific situation and potentials of the municipality.
The LDN TPP focuses on specific objectives and actions in the area of the municipality and its various functional land units in a pro-active, forward-looking and visionary manner as a contribution to the nationally set LDN objectives and the overall LDN vision. It presents possible and recommended development pathways and focuses predominantly on LDN implementation options through the application and adoption of various SLM and CSA practices.

2.9 Condição que propiciam ou inibem a implementação de tecnologia/tecnologias aplicada(s) segundo a abordagem

3.1 Partes interessadas envolvidas na abordagem e seus papéis

3.2 Envolvimento do usuários de terra/comunidades locais nas diferentes fases da abordagem

	Envolvimento do usuários de terra/comunidades locais	Especifique quem estava envolvido e descreva as atividades
Iniciação/motivação	Nenhum
Planejamento	Passivo	Local land users were consulted to gain experience and insight into the situation of agriculture in the different areas. The interviews were then incorporated in the preparation of the maps and land use plans. Stakeholder priorities formulated during the meetings were the basis for the setting of the municipal targets. Due to COVID 19 the related participatory process to validate the proposed targets, activities and locations has only started recently. Thus, finally the classification would rather refer to "interactive planning".
Implementação	Nenhum
Monitoramento/avaliação	Nenhum	M&E will be provided in a later stage once the decisions are made regarding the final activities and priorities

3.4 Decisão sobre a seleção de tecnologia/tecnologias de GST

Especifique quem decidiu sobre a seleção de tecnologia/tecnologias a serem implementadas:

• Principalmente especialistas em GST, após consulta com usuários da terra

Explique:

After initial consultations, the plan was prepared based on scientific and GIS-based information translating it into a muncipal programme. The process will be concluded once the programme is validated and discussed with land users and municipal administration (ongoing process).

Especifique em que base foram tomadas as decisões:

• Avaliação de conhecimento bem documentado de GST (tomada de decisão baseada em evidências)
• Resultados de pesquisa
