Strengthening the capacity and creating of an enabling environment for SLM policy, investment and harmonization of institutional frameworks
Mainstreaming and scaling up of INRM and SLM practices in DLDD affected landscapes
Sustainable pasture management
Sustainable forest management
Drought risk management, including early warning systems Climate – smart agriculture
CACILM II National priorities
ELD system for valuation of land, water and ecosystem services
Unified approaches and methods for assessing economic values of land and ecosystem services
Drought risk management
Salinity control through integrated landscape management
Support in implementation of aligned NAP in the context of the UNCCD Strategy (2008 – 2018)
CACILM II Regional priorities
Paradigm shift Reactive crisis management Proactive risk management
Recommendation: FAO, together with UNCCD and WMO, should support MC for developing and implementing policies, strategies and action plans on drought risk management at national and transboundary levels.
Preparation of Draft Implementation Plan (Pillar 1 – Antalya, 13-17 October ‘14)

Economics of land degradationA global initiative for sustainable land
management
Cooperation and partnership (technical, scientific and political)?
To scale up integrated natural resources management in drought prone and salt
affected agricultural production systems in the Central Asia and Turkey.
Integrated Natural Resources Management can be defined as “the responsible and broad-based management of the land, water, forest and biological resources base
(including genes) needed to sustain agricultural productivity and avert degradation of potential productivity"
(Technical Advisory Committee / Science Council Secretariat, FAO, September 2003)
Multiple global environmental benefits
Barriers for scaling up INRM
• Barrier 1: Inadequate regional mechanism for evidence-based knowledge
• Barrier 2. Inadequate integration of resilience into policy and decision-making
• Barrier 3. Absence of strategy for scaling up of INRM.
Project Component
Project Outcomes
1. Multi-country collaboration and partnership to foster the implementation of cost-effective INRM, focusing on drought-prone and salt-affected production landscapes
1.1 Enhanced knowledge of the costs of land degradation and benefits of INRM , drought preparedness and biosaline agriculture to national economies and the region as a whole to informs policy and investment decisions at all levels, incl. NAP processes1.2 Enhanced multi-country collaboration and information sharing to promote investment for INRM scaling up, focusing on drought prone and/or salinity affected production landscapes
Scale up integrated natural resources management in drought-prone and salt-affected agriculture production landscapes in Central Asia and Turkey
Objective: Scale up integrated natural resources management in drought prone and salt affected agricultural production systems in the Central Asia and Turkey.
Project Component 3. Multi-country collaboration and partnership to foster the effective delivery of INRM
Outcomes Outputs 1.1. Enhanced knowledge of the costs of land degradation and benefits of INRM and DRM to national economies and the region as a whole informs policy and investment decisions at all levels, including NAP processes (linked to 1.1)
1.1.1 Standardized approach across countries for valuation of ecosystem services affected by land degradation, drought and desertification
1.1.2 Identification of incentives to scale up INRM (e.g. PES schemes)
Project Component
3. Multi-country collaboration and partnership to foster the effective delivery of INRM
Outcomes Outputs 1.2. Enhanced multi-country collaboration and information sharing to promote investment for INRM scaling up, focusing on drought prone and/or salinity affected production landscapes
1.2.1 Multi-country platform for knowledge consolidation and harmonization on INRM (link to global SLM/DSS platform, EASP and ELD Secretariat) to support national advisory / extension and climate information services, including early warning systems
1.2.2 Multiscale and participatory approaches in place for monitoring of ecosystem services that integrates GEBs with socio-economic and gender considerations
Project Component
Project Outcomes
2. Integration of resilience into policy, legal and institutional frameworks for INRM
1.1 Resilience integrated across NRM sectors and production landscapes
1.2 Incentives for climate-smart agriculture in place at national and sub-national levels
3. Upscaling of climate-smart agricultural practices in drought prone and/or salt affected production landscapes
2.1 Up-scaling of a proactive drought risk management (DRM) approach and innovative INRM technologies in selected production landscapes /land use systems use systems (e.g. pastoral, agro-sylvo-pastoral, tree-based, irrigated, rainfed, home gardens) in Central Asia and Turkey2.2 Adaptation and scaling up of technologies and approaches for management of salt-affected production landscapes

Capacity Development
Institutional arrangements CACILM Steering Committee (SC) will review project achievements and report to members of
the Strategic Partnership Agreement and provide overall strategic guidance.
Multi-Country Secretariat (MCS). This Project Coordination Unit (PCU), supported and coordinated by FAO SEC office, will provide the administrative services for the SC. It will operate the project monitoring and evaluation system. The execution of the multi-country component will supported by CAREC and ICBA.
National Advisory and Coordination Group (ACG), responsible for aligning action with country’s policy and strategic priorities and providing strategic guidance to NSEC. It is composed of the FPs of UNFCCC, UNCCD and UNCBD, representatives of the key Ministries related to Agriculture, Water, Land use, Environment, Meteorology, science representatives and, the Ministry of Finance. The ACG may also include the designated GSP FP.
National Secretariats (NSEC) providing support to the UNCCD FPs in the execution of the national components (component 2 and 3).
