This Action Learning Module (ALM) has been designed to support local authorities in arid regions devise and develop sustainable land management projects.
It is designed to accompany a municipality over several days to come up with an idea for an operational project, ensure it fits with the regional development plan, validate it in a simplified logical framework and identify potential partners, while formulating a budget and funding plan. The module combines classroom and field work sessions to supplement theory‐based content with practical aspects. It is organised in different stages, each enabling participants to reach a learning goal and an operational objective. The specific and innovative combination of the two outcomes enables the local community to gain maximum benefit from the action learning process.
The “Principles and Approach” document provides a basis for the ALM that splits it into five stages, accompanied by various advice and tips for trainers.
