Colombia has an excellent opportunity to develop a national land-use strategy over the next two or three years that is supported by government, the private sector, and civil society. The likelihood of success of this strategy will be enhanced through a sustained, orchestrated commitment from donor nations that helps to maintain momentum across political election cycles and that provides a long-term prospect for funding at scale that is tied to realistic performance milestones. The recommendations presented in this report are focused on this opportunity. They are presented assuming an initial design and early implementation phase (2013 through 2015) of a programme that will take ten years (or more) to bring to full fruition. They are intended to provide a broad conceptual framework for linking together the many opportunities and initiatives underway in Colombia into an integrated synergistic programme, with some detail on potential examples of speci c interventions.
