FAO Survey: 'Stocktaking Landscape Initiatives Work by FAO and Partners' | Land Portal

There is increasing demand from international and global processes (i.e. RIO+20), from member countries and partners for more coherent and integrated landscape management/territorial development and ecosystem services assessment approaches at all levels. 

There are a huge number of initiatives ongoing on landscape/territorial approaches but all under different names and processes so it is difficult for FAO to analyse and draw lessons for more effective future work.

The FAO Natural Resources Management and Environment Department (NR) has started a process:

  • to identify, raise awareness, and share experiences and lessons learned on landscape/ territorial approaches by FAO with partners; 
  • to identify opportunities for improved synergies among the diverse interventions and approaches on landscape/territorial and integrated ecosystem planning/management /development (i.e. to reduce duplication of efforts and to gain greater impact in contributing to the three pillars of sustainable development); and
  • to develop a strategy and collaborative processes for strengthening support to countries and partners in this regard.

As part of this process a pilot survey was undertaken in February 2013, which aimed to stocktake the landscape/territorial interventions, projects and initiatives which are planned, being implemented or have been finalized and documented by the FAO and its partner organizations. 

A summary of the results from the pilot survey is attached below.

The pilot survey was well responded to, however, further information is needed on the diverse landscape/territorial initiatives to obtain a more complete representation of the suite of work under-taken and, thereby, to effectively inform and facilitate this harmonization and outreach process. 

FAO welcomes an active response from relevant FAO technical/officers, project staff and direct partners to strengthen this important information gathering and review process. 

To start the survey, please follow the link below.

This should take no more than 10 minutes. Please complete this yourself if you are very familiar with relevant interventions or send it to project managers, focal points, or technical personnel to request their contribution by:  July 31, 2013

If you wish to make available outputs of relevant initiatives these will be made available through an FAO Land portal citing and linking clearly to the process and authors. FAO is also inviting you to be an active partner in the process.
