Critical issues
• Water scarcity • Deforestation and forest degradation • Soil erosion and low water retention
capacity • Desertification • Climate change • Low land productivity coupled with droughts • Low priority in national policies • Lack of capacity • Low, short-term investment • Poverty and increased population

Collaborative Drylands Restoration Initiative: What is it?
• In collaboration with FAO member countries, local partner organizations, international institutions and organizations
• Comprehensive analysis and evaluation of relevant forestation and restoration programmes and projects (based on FRMT)
• Develop the way forward in the form of guidelines for restoration of degraded forests and lands
![Page 6: Status of the collaborative drylands’• Review of the guidelines Day 2 & Day 3 Field trip : continuation of working groups • Review the draft guidelines through their testing](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071412/61086c0669040725b2667046/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Collaborative Drylands Restoration Initiative: Why?
• FAO Regional forestry commissions and Committee on Forestry
• UNCCD 10-year strategic plan and framework (2008-2018)
• UNCBD Strategic plan for biodiversity 2011-2020
• UNFCCC: Climate change mitigation and adaptation
• The Great Green Wall for the Sahara and the Sahel Initiative

Draft guidelines for building resilient forest landscapes in drylands: for whom ?
• Decision-makers from forestry and rural development sectors
• Managers of forest restoration programmes and projects • Officers and technicians of international and regional
organizations, bi-lateral and multi-lateral development cooperation agencies and NGOs
![Page 10: Status of the collaborative drylands’• Review of the guidelines Day 2 & Day 3 Field trip : continuation of working groups • Review the draft guidelines through their testing](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071412/61086c0669040725b2667046/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Draft guidelines for building resilient forest landscapes in drylands
Structured in 4 main blocks
1. Putting in place an enabling environment 2. Planning for forest landscape restoration
3. Field implementation
4. Monitoring and evaluation
![Page 11: Status of the collaborative drylands’• Review of the guidelines Day 2 & Day 3 Field trip : continuation of working groups • Review the draft guidelines through their testing](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071412/61086c0669040725b2667046/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Draft guidelines
1. Putting in place an enabling environment
To address the root causes behind forest degradation and desertification
• Supportive policies and governance mechanisms • Intersectoral collaboration • Capacity development and education • Sustainable financing
![Page 12: Status of the collaborative drylands’• Review of the guidelines Day 2 & Day 3 Field trip : continuation of working groups • Review the draft guidelines through their testing](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071412/61086c0669040725b2667046/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Draft guidelines
2. Planning for forest landscape restoration
• Baseline assessment and mapping • Landscape approach • Restoration priorities and objectives • Balancing environmental, socio-economic, cultural
aspects • Participation of relevant stakeholders in planning • Right Species in the right place • Reproductive material of high quality
![Page 13: Status of the collaborative drylands’• Review of the guidelines Day 2 & Day 3 Field trip : continuation of working groups • Review the draft guidelines through their testing](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071412/61086c0669040725b2667046/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Draft guidelines
3. Field implementation
• Assisted natural regeneration • Soil and water conservation measures • Forest protection and management measures • Innovative technologies for improving plant production
in nurseries • Planting density, planting period • sowing seeds, planting techniques • Soil preparation, watering • Fire prevention and management techniques • Development and implementation of management plans
for the restored areas
![Page 14: Status of the collaborative drylands’• Review of the guidelines Day 2 & Day 3 Field trip : continuation of working groups • Review the draft guidelines through their testing](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071412/61086c0669040725b2667046/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Draft guidelines
4. Monitoring & evaluation
• Incorporation of objectives, performance standards, and protocols for monitoring into the restoration plans
• Monitoring over a long period to detect major
environmental and socio-economic processes/ dynamics • Monitoring, backed by compilation of lessons learnt, to
inform adaptive management and know-how sharing
