| Objective / Goal |
The overall objective of the Project is to scale up integrated natural resources management (INRM) in drought prone and salt affected agricultural production landscapes in the Central Asian countries and Türkiye. This will be done through scaling up of sustainable management practices that minimize pressures and negative impacts on natural resources that reduce risks and vulnerability and, enhance capacity of rural communities to cope with or adapt to drought and salinity. |
| Beneficiaries | Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Turkey |
| Activities |
The project objective will be achieved during a five-year period through four project components. It is structured as a program with one multi-country component addressing shared priorities at multi-county level (Component 1), two components at national level ensuring national implementation in selected production landscapes/land use systems (Component 2 and Component 3), and one M&E component (Component 4). The needs of disadvantaged groups, gender and age issues will be given consideration throughout the Project’s implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and are reflected in the Project design. |
| Impact |
In particular, adoption of integrated landscape management approaches and INRM practices should help stabilize and even reverse trends of soil salinization, reduce erosion, improve water capture and retention, increase the sequestration of carbon, and reduce loss of agrobiodiversity, thereby reducing the desertification trend in terms of extent and severity. |
