This is a collection of SARD good practices that have had a demonstrated impact at community level. It includes cases, lessons and successful stories documented through interviews and field assessments by the Initiative’s stakeholders in Asia and the Pacific region. Each practice pays particular attention to innovative elements, success factors and outstanding issues, while highlighting the environmental, social and economic benefits.
