Performance Indicators
C. Performance indicators
Performance indicators are for measuring progress against the five operational objectives of The Strategy, in line with decision
3/COP.8. The year 2008 (the first year of the Strategy) serves as the baseline year.
Affected country Parties are requested to report on the following fourteen performance indicators out of the eighteen consolidated
performance indicators presented in ICCD/CRIC(8)/5/Add.1 and Add.2.
Reporting is guided by means of templates, one for each performance indicator. Within the templates, shaded areas contain
information and explanatory texts and white areas are for reporting purposes and need to be filled in by affected country Parties with
relevant quantitative data, selection of multiple choice boxes, or narrative information.
Number and size of information events organized on the subject of DLDD and/or DLDD synergies with climate change and
biodiversity, and audience reached by media addressing DLDD and DLDD synergies.
Understanding of the indicator
At the national and local level, the indicator measures the performance of Convention-related communication strategies, in
particular, whether DLDD issues and synergies are being communicated and if so, whether the communication is considered to be
effective. Effectiveness is assessed through the appraisal of the media campaigns carried out; the assumption is that the stronger
the media campaigns on DLDD issues and synergies, the higher the probability of passing the messages on to the target audience.
The focus of the indicator is on information activities specifically dedicated to DLDD and/or DLDD synergies with climate change
and biodiversity. Other reporting entities will complement the information provided by affected country Parties by reporting on
Convention-related communication strategies at subregional, regional and global level.
Data needed
Information on events/media specifically addressing DLDD and/or DLDD synergies with climate change and biodiversity.
Attendance lists of events (meetings, workshops, seminars), programmes/projects’ documents, estimate of target audience for major
media events (campaigns, radio and television programmes, etc.).
Events organized and media produced by the UNCCD NFP or organized/produced by third parties not directly reporting to the
Convention (TV channels, newspaper editors, etc.) shall be considered.
Data sources (indicative only)
International and national media (newspapers) advertising the events at national and local level, the Internet, the organizers of the
events, programmes/projects’ final reports.
Check the glossary for
‘NFP’, ‘ICT’, ‘Information events’, ‘Media products’, ‘STIs’, ‘CSOs’
Media products have been grouped into: (a) Paper media products (articles, press releases, leaflets, flyers, brochures and comics,
etc.); (b) radio and television programmes; (c) other ICT (websites, CDs, DVD, etc.).
Overall target
By 2018, 30 per cent of the global population is informed about DLDD and DLDD synergies with climate change and biodiversity

Qualitative assessment
Is the information you have provided on communication processes part of a national communication strategy addressing
environmental issues?
Yes
Number of CSOs and science and technology institutions participating in the Convention processes.
At the national level, the indicator measures the level of participation of civil society organizations (CSOs) and science and
technology institutions (STIs) in DLDD-related programmes and projects. The indicator will outline whether the active involvement
of these stakeholders in country-based initiatives increases over time and whether programmes/projects are valid tools for the
engagement of, and receiving contributions from, CSOs and STIs at the field level. Other reporting entities will complement the
information provided by affected country Parties by reporting on the involvement of CSOs and STIs at subregional, regional and
global level; in particular, the secretariat and the GM will report on the involvement of CSOs and STIs at the institutional level.
Data needed

Number and type of DLDD-related initiatives of CSOs and science and technology institutions in the field of education.
The indicator measures the number and type of DLDD-related initiatives undertaken by CSOs and STIs in the education sector at
the national level. The assumption is that the higher the number of DLDD-related education initiatives undertaken by these
stakeholders, the stronger their interest in addressing DLDD problems. A distinction is made between activities carried out in the
formal education sector and in the non-formal education sector. This indicator focuses on “education” because “awareness” and
“advocacy” are already measured through indicators CONS-O-1 and CONS-O-2, respectively. Other reporting entities will
complement the information provided by affected country Parties by reporting on the involvement of CSOs and STIs at subregional,
regional and global level.
Data needed
Information on initiatives undertaken in the field of education that may be found in: written communications by CSOs and STIs to
the NFP; contractual and/or programme/project-related documents; records of academic bodies and their curricula.
Only initiatives in the field of education (formal and non-formal) directly relating to DLDD issues are to be considered.

Number of affected country Parties, subregional and regional entities to have finalized the formulation/revision of
NAPs/SRAPs/RAPs aligned to The Strategy, taking into account biophysical and socio-economic information, national planning and
policies, and integration into investment frameworks.
At the national level, the indicator measures the performance of affected country Parties in formulating or revising their NAPs in
alignment with The Strategy. While providing information on this process, the indicator also outlines whether: (a) the analysis of
DLDD drivers, barriers to possible solutions, and measures that may eventually overcome these barriers, has been carried out; (b)
the alignment process has been supported by biophysical and socio-economic baseline information; (c) the action programmes
have been included in integrated investment frameworks; and (d) the action programmes have been integrated with other existing
national plans and policies. The indicator will inform on the extent to which Parties have responded to decision 3/COP.8, paragraph
45, and on the feasibility of assessing the progress of The Strategy over its implementation period (2008–2018). Subregional and
regional reporting entities will complement the information provided by affected country Parties by reporting on formulation or
revision of SRAPs and RAPs in alignment with The Strategy.

Number of initiatives for synergistic planning/programming of the three Rio Conventions or mechanisms for joint implementation, at
all levels.
The indicator measures the existence of synergistic processes through the number of instruments (i.e. joint planning/programming
and/or operational mechanisms) in place at the national level which foster the introduction of or strengthen the mutually reinforcing
measures among the three Rio Conventions. The assumption is that the higher the number of enabling instruments in place, the
higher the possibility of achieving synergies in implementation. This information will be complemented by the reporting of other
reporting entities on synergistic processes at the subregional, regional and global level.
Data needed
Planning/programming documents and legislative/regulatory documents.
Only operational mechanisms which have the achievement of joint implementation, synergies, convergence, and the introduction or
strengthening of reinforcing measures among the Rio Conventions clearly stated in their objectives shall be considered under this
indicator.

Number of affected country Parties, subregional and regional entities to have established and supported a national/subregional
/regional monitoring system for DLDD.
At the national level, the indicator measures the monitoring potential of the country by quantifying the number of monitoring systems
established and supported. These monitoring systems may be specifically or partially (in the case of environmental monitoring
systems) dedicated to UNCCD reporting. The indicator will inform on the extent to which it is realistic to expect more regular and
coherent reporting by affected country Parties during the implementation of The Strategy and beyond. This information will be
complemented by the reporting of other reporting entities on UNCCD-relevant monitoring systems established and supported at the
subregional, regional and global level.

Number of affected country Parties, subregional and regional entities reporting to the Convention along revised reporting guidelines
on the basis of agreed indicators
The indicator measures the use of biophysical and socio-economic information at the national level in defining a commonly agreed
core set of impact indicators for the UNCCD and in monitoring progress against these indicators using harmonized methodologies.
The indicator will inform to what extent it is possible to compile a comparable and global assessment of UNCCD impact.
Subregional and regional reporting entities will complement the information provided by affected country Parties by reporting on the
use of impact indicators at the subregional and regional levels, if and when impact indicators for these levels will be commonly
agreed upon by the Conference of the Parties.
Data needed
Reports to the UNCCD by affected country Parties in 2012 and 2016.
The information to report on this indicator will be compiled by affected country Parties every four years when reporting on the
strategic objectives that require biophysical and socio-economic information (i.e. SO1, SO2 and SO3). Reporting on this indicator is
due in 2012 and in 2016 only.

Identify the major difficulties experienced in reporting against the impact indicators:
Number of revised NAPs/SRAPs/RAPs reflecting knowledge of DLDD drivers and their interactions, and of the interaction of DLDD
with climate change and biodiversity.
The indicator measures knowledge-transfer processes from the theoretical to the operational level. This is done through an
assessment carried out by affected country Parties (self-assessment) of the levels of traditional and scientific knowledge reflected
in their NAPs. The assumption is that NAPs based on sound scientific and traditional knowledge will propose more significant and
effective strategies and activities for implementation at the national level, and will, ultimately, perform better than those NAPs that
do not take into account available knowledge on DLDD and DLDD synergies. The indicator will inform to what extent UNCCD
implementation is likely to achieve meaningful results. Subregional and regional reporting entities will complement the information
provided by affected country Parties by reporting on the assessment of their SRAPs and RAPs.
Data needed

Standard Financial Annex
D. Standard Financial Annex
The CRIC has recommended that financial reporting be based on a standard financial reporting format to be used by affected
country Parties and their development partners. It also indicated that emphasis in reports should be put on financial matters and
also on an analysis of the impact of the activities undertaken (ICCD/CRIC(8)/5).
The purpose of the Standard Financial Annex (SFA) is to consolidate information on resources mobilized by affected country Parties
and their development partners under the framework of relevant strategies and action programmes. It facilitates the aggregation of
data on financial commitments, financial flows and resources available by all relevant funding sources for activities related to the
implementation of the Convention. It also helps minimize double counting in financial statistics (ICCD/CRIC(8)/5/Add.4).
The SFA is to be used by each country Party and other reporting entities to list all financial commitments they have made during the
reporting period in support of institutions, programmes, projects, as well as other relevant initiatives undertaken at national or
international level for the implementation of the Convention.
More specifically, for each relevant financial commitment or allocation made in the reporting period, the SFA requires a minimum
set of data grouped as follows:
Identification, i.e. data required to identify the reporting entity, the funding source and the activity financed;
Basic data, i.e. data specifying the amount and type of financial commitment made, as well as the recipient country, region, and/or
organization, and the funding period, if applicable;
(c) Classification, i.e. categorization of the funded activity according to the Rio Markers for desertification, and the UNCCD Relevant
Activity Codes (RACs).
The compilation of the SFA is guided by means of a template, which responds to the recommendations of CRIC 7, and builds on the
GM methodological guide for financial reporting presented to CRIC 6 as part of the report of the intergovernmental Ad Hoc Working
Group to improve the procedures for communication of information.
Within the template, shaded areas contain information and explanatory texts, while white areas are for reporting purposes and need
to be filled in by the reporting entities with relevant data or narrative information.
Decision 13/COP.9, paragraph 8, invites country Parties and other reporting entities to refer to common terminology and definitions.
Therefore, these guidelines should be read in conjunction with the comprehensive glossary presented in a separate document.

Programme and Project Sheets
E. Programme and Project Sheet
Programme and Project Sheets (PPS) are used to provide more detailed information on programmes or projects undertaken or
completed in the reporting period. This includes programmes and projects in the pipeline, as well as final proposals submitted for
funding to internal or external funding sources. All country Parties and other reporting entities involved in the financing,
coordination or implementation of relevant programmes and projects are requested to prepare a PPS for each of them, and to attach
them to their official report to the UNCCD.
The compilation of the PPS is guided by means of a template. These templates are intended to collect a minimum set of qualitative
and quantitative data to facilitate the analysis of funding and investment flows, and the production of better financial statistics
related to UNCCD implementation (ICCD/CRIC(8)/5/Add.4), with a view to enabling the CRIC to undertake an objective review of
progress in the implementation of the Convention and The Strategy. The PPS also facilitate the computation of certain performance
and impact indicators.
A distinctive feature of the PPS is that it allows country Parties and other reporting entities to specify which strategic and
operational objectives of The Strategy are targeted by each programme or project. In addition, it allows for individual programme or
project components to be categorized using the Rio Markers for desertification and Relevant Activity Codes (RACs).
Furthermore, the PPS can be used to indicate whether the objectives of other Rio Conventions (i.e. the UN Convention on
Biological Diversity, CBD – and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, UNFCCC) are also addressed by the
programme or project. This is done through the use of the biodiversity and climate change Rio Markers, respectively.
The PPS offers an opportunity to increase the visibility of relevant programmes and projects, thereby creating the conditions for a
better sharing of experiences and lessons, as well as the transfer of knowledge in general. It also favours collaboration and
networking by facilitating the identification of potential synergies.
Lastly, the PPS also allows country Parties and other reporting entities to provide a narrative description of the expected or
achieved results. This information will facilitate the qualitative assessment of progress in the implementation of The Strategy,
including on returns on investment. The CRIC will use the analysis of financial information originating from the PPS to assess
results, performance and impacts.
To minimize the reporting burden and avoid discrepancies in the information annexed to the reports of different entities, it is
recommended that project partners identify the most suitable ways to coordinate among themselves the preparation of PPS to
ensure that consistent data are reported for the same projects. It would also be advisable to compile just one PPS for large
“umbrella” programmes, instead of separate PPS for each small project stemming from them.
In the PPS template, shaded areas contain information and explanatory texts, while white areas are for reporting purposes and need
to be filled in by country Parties and other reporting entities with relevant data or narrative information.

205 small scale Hoodia growers hold membership in HOGRAN,
representing 68% of the end of the project target.
7 HOGRAN management meetings have been held against the planned 6 meetings.
3 HOGRAN Annual General Meetings and 1 general meeting were held during the project period.
Two Regional Facilitators were trained in HIV/AIDS, establishment and management of nutrition gardens,
and Hoodia nursery establishment, management and harvesting. The Regional facilitators later trained
the 300 final beneficiaries.
300 beneficiaries established hoodia nurseries
300 beneficiaries have planted Hoodia Gordonii variety.
The commercial farmers sold 200kg of Hoodia powder to Germany at a price of N$500 per kg. No hoodia
produced by the 300 beneficiaries was sold through organized marketing, although the beneficiaries
produced approximately 1.3 tons of dry hoodia
An agreement was reached to use project funds to compensate the beneficiaries through purchasing the
Hoodia. The close to 1.3 tons of purchased hoodia was donated to HOGRAN to sell as and when market
opportunities surface. Although not finalised, there is interest from a German based buyer for the
donated hoodia. Negotiations are underway between HOGRAN and the buyer. Income that will be
generated from sales of this hoodia will be used to strengthen the association and assist the small scale
growers beyond the EU funding. A clear MOU has been signed to this effect.
One (1) contract was signed with Shegra, an agent in German, to market Hoodia. However, the contract
did not yield much due to uncertainties surrounding safety and efficacy of the hoodia products.

guide to the Act, and also a DVD explaining the importance of the Act in striking a balance between
economic development and environmental sustainability. The commercialisation of marula food oil (which
supports some 5000 rural women) and the marketing of game meat are also being supported as emerging
industries.

The SGP has supported some 87 community-based projects since its inception in 2003 with over USD2
million. The majority of these have been in the area of biodiversity conservation, but synergies are
actively pursued between climate change, land degradation and biodiversity. Grants are provided with a
maximum ceiling of USD50,000 and have been provided to projects ranging from fuel efficiency, soil
improvement, mushroom farming, renewable energy to human wildlife conflict reduction. The programme
has been very successful at empowering and including communities in sustainable land management by
providing financial and technical support. A community-based adaptation component is also now being
implemented through the SGP to target specifically local level climate change adaptation measures

Additional Information
F. Additional information
The section on additional information is meant to provide an instrument of flexibility in the reporting exercise as well as to enrich
the knowledge base of the CRIC on concrete issues faced by affected country Parties and consequently to make more targeted and
specific recommendations to the COP. It allows affected country Parties to comment or report upon issues that are not covered
elsewhere but that are nevertheless of importance at the national level or within the framework of the implementation of The
Strategy and the Convention.
The additional information section allows feedback to be received on the reporting process and on the implementation of NAPs as
well as lessons learnt, problems, constraints and bottlenecks faced in terms of human and financial resources. It is also meant to
accommodate ad hoc COP requests for reporting on specific topics or new reporting requirements deriving from COP deliberations
that may supersede existing ones and imply changes in implementation.
The proposed template for reporting is adjusted to the mandate of affected country Parties within the framework of the Convention,
as requested by decision 13/COP.9, paragraph 17.

Lessons learnt (report on the 2 most important only)
1
Namibia has developed a national capacity building strategy for integrated sustainable land management.
This has focused on ministry staff and academic capacity building at nation level. Though these are in their
early stages, there is good scope to upscale.
2
At community level, an innovative grant mechanism (IGM) has been set up to support CBOs in eco-friendly
enterprises. 450 community members were trained in 2009. Lessons learned include the need to assist
communities with proposal writing, need for marketing support and innovative awareness raising
Problems, constraints and bottlenecks currently faced by your country (report on the 2 most important only)
1
Sustainable land management is the responsibility of a wide number of stakeholders. The CPP already
involves 7 ministries in its management structure. The coordination of these different ministries, and
regional authorities, is an ongoing challenge.
2
While sustainable livelihood diversification opportunities have generally been identified in Namibia, rural
communities lack skills and access to resources to address land degradation. Lack of ownership over land
also inhibits the access of communities to needed financial resources
Financial resources
Lessons learnt (report on the 2 most important only)
1
An approach of rolling budgeting and planning involving a wide variety of partnerships is used by the CPP.
This has proved very useful in integrated assorted funding, activities and participatory approaches
2
Flexible financing mechanisms such as the IGM and Small Grants Programmes have proved useful
mechanisms to provide financial and technical support to rural communities. This is especially important
given communities' difficulties in accessing "mainstream" financial funds
Problems, constraints and bottlenecks currently faced by your country (report on the 2 most important only)
1
At community level, there is great demand for financial services provided by mechanisms such as the IGM
and SGP. There is currently inadequate financial resources to serve the needs of these rural communities
2
There are a wide variety of donors supporting environmental initiatives in Namibia. These need to be well
coordinated to ensure efforts are not duplicated and that financial resources are maximised

Narrative description
We had general difficulties in compiling this report in terms of information availability particularly in the
areas of CONS-O-1, CONS-O-18 and to a lesser extent CONS-O-3. Accurate recording of information
events and numbers reached by various formats can be difficult to approximate. Disaggregation of data
by year was also a problem in terms of budgets and awareness raising. Reports used were often biannual
or overlapping (ie. june 2007-june 2008) thus average approximations were made. Budgets were also often
not listed per project component or per year (ie 2008 and 2009 separately), which posed a particular
problem for reporting on CONS-O-18.
Best Practices
G. Best practices
According to decision 13/COP. 9, Annex V, UNCCD best practices shall be collected according to seven themes: 1. SLM
technologies, including adaptation; 2. Capacity building and awareness raising; 3. DLDD and SLM monitoring and
assessment/research; 4. Knowledge management and decision support; 5. Policy, legislative, institutional framework; 6.
Funding/resource mobilization; 7. Participation, collaboration and networking.
While themes 2 to 7 represent different elements of the enabling environment needed for the implementation and dissemination/upscaling of sustainable land management (SLM) technologies (indirect impact), theme 1 comprises all actions on the ground that
have a direct impact on desertification, land degradation and drought mitigation.
In particular, as specified in document ICCD/CRIC(8)/5/Add.5, paragraph 12, theme 1 ‘SLM technologies, including adaptation’
refers to SLM technologies that directly contribute to the prevention, mitigation and rehabilitation of desertification and land
degradation on cropland, grazing land and woodland, with the aim of improving the livelihoods of affected populations and
conserving ecosystem services. Successful implementation of SLM technologies is the base for achieving strategic objectives 1, 2
and 3 of The Strategy. Theme 1 also integrates five of the strategic areas defined by decision 8/COP.4, namely: (a) sustainable land
use management, including water, soil and vegetation in affected areas; (b) sustainable use and management of rangelands; (c)
development of sustainable agricultural and ranching production systems; (d) development of new and renewable energy sources;
and (e) launching of reforestation/afforestation programmes/ intensification of soil conservation programmes.
ICCD/CRIC(8)/5/Add.5 provides definitions for ‘practice’, ‘good practice’ and ‘best practice’. These definitions are included in the
common glossary that shall be referred to by Parties and other reporting entities while reporting to UNCCD, according to decision
13/COP.9, paragraph 8.
The template for reporting is based on the general structure for the documentation of best practices contained in ICCD/CRIC(8)
/5/Add.5, paragraphs 40 to 43; it is tailored to the documentation of best practices related to theme 1 ‘SLM technologies, including
adaptation’.

Communal Land Reform Act of 2002.
Short description of the best practice
max 250 words
The CONTILL approach is specially tailored towards Namibia’s low and erratic rainfall, and sandy and
degraded soils. It advocates the use of a ripper furrower/constant traffic approach to break up the
compacted sub-soil hard pan (caused by compaction from using disc harrows) and to ensure in-field water
harvesting and soil improvement. In the first year the ripper furrower must be drawn by tractor to make the
initial deep furrow lines to break up the hard pan. However an animal drawn furrower may be used in
subsequent years to follow the same previous rip furrow lines (constant traffic system). The use of the
same furrows each year increases water harvesting and allows for the concentrated build-up of soil
nutrients at the base of the furrow. The crops are planted in the furrows and benefit from this nutrient build
up, and their roots are also able to penetrate deeper into the sub soil. Research has shown that the in-field
water harvesting that occurs can convert 300mm of rainfall into 520mm, which is very important in this
semi-arid environment.
On-farm trials started 5 years ago and have been undertaken on 226 demonstration plots with inputs
(technology, seeds, fertiliser and herbicide) and advice provided by the project, while labour, manure and
the proper maintenance of the trials was the responsibility of the local farmers. The approach was initially
piloted on the local staple crop mahangu (pearl millet). Average yields for mahangu have consistently
reached over 6 times the national average (2000kg/ha versus 300kg/ha), which has prompted the approach
to be tested for maize and cowpea also, with equally excellent results.
On the basis of which criteria and/or indicator(s) (not related to The Strategy) the proposed practice and
corresponding technology has been considered as ‘best’?
max 100 words
Contill or "Lima nawa" is considered best practice for a number of reasons. It has shown its potential to
drastically increase crop yields and to maintain these yields, particularly of the staple mahangu crop. The
improved cultivation of mahangu is in itself an adaptation to climate change. Namibia is predicted to become
drier with increased variability of rainfall. Thus the technique of in field water harvesting has great value.
Mahangu itself is the most drought adapted grain, therefore improved yields and techniques are an
important step towards resilience to climate change in Northern Namibia.
Moreover the increased yields are not at the expense of the environment. Rather land degradation is being
reversed. The use of crop residues and crop rotations is further driving this process through which
increased yields can be sustained over the long term. The ability to be able to increase yields on the same
plot of land will also reduce the need to clear new areas for cultivation
Section 2. Problems addressed (direct and indirect causes) and objectives of the best practice
With respect to DLDD, the best practice directly contributes to:
Adaptation
Rehabilitation
Main problems addressed by the best practice
(max 50 words)
The best practices addresses the related problems of soil degradation, declining crop yields and food
insecurity in a region where livelihoods rely mainly on subsistence farming.
Outline specific land degradation problems addressed by the best practice
max 100 words
Declining soil fertility; soil erosion; depletion of soil nutrients; water runoff; high levels of evaporation; wind
erosion
Specify the objectives of the best practice
(max 50 words)
The proposed action aims to improve food production and management capacities of small scale farmers
in the rural areas of Oshana, Oshikoto, Kavango and Ohangwena. It seeks to address the escalating
problem of declining soil yields by taking more appropriate and simple technology to the farmer and
applying this in a fully participatory way. Employment creation and building farmer's capacity are further
objectives
Section 3. Activities
Brief description of main activities, by objective
Objective 1
(max 50 words)
226 smallholder farmers participated in the CONTILL approach. They provided the manure and labour for
the on-farm trials and were trained and permitted to keep the increased yields. The increased yields
opened up opportunities for the farmers to market their produce for extra income.
Objective 2
(max 50 words)
Ecosystems were improved by techniques of in-field water harvesting, crop rotation, application of
manure, use of crop residues and by increased vegetation cover during the growing season.
Objective 3
(max 50 words)
Techniques of in-field water harvesting, crop rotation, application of manure, use of crop residues
contribute to increased organic matter and plant biomass, which provide global environmental benefits
Objective 4
(max 50 words)
Funding for the project is provided by a wide variety of donors. The ripper furrower technology is made
available to communities, and on-site training is provided to ensure its optimal adoption.
Short description of the technology
max 250 words
The technology applied is known as ripper furrowing. This is an approach to ploughing involving deep
penetration into the soil. A tractor pulled ripper furrower is required in the first year so that the hard pan in
the sub-soil can be effectively broken up. Thereafter an animal drawn ripper furrower is sufficient

Impact on biodiversity and climate change
In your opinion does the best practice/technology you have proposed positively impact on biodiversity conservation?
Yes
Explain the reasons:
max 250 words
Contill contributes to the resilience of ecosystems and local communities to climate change through its
maximisation of water use efficiency and increased yields. Mahangu is also the most drought tolerant cereal
and has very high nutritional properties. As a staple crop, it thus has a key role to play in increasing
community's resilience to climate change.
In terms of biodiversity, the lengthened growing season using this method means that the use of long
season indigenous mahangu varieties, with superior grain and biomass yields, is both possible and
preferable. The maintenance of healthy ecosystems should also increase biodiversity in the area.
In your opinion does the best practice/technology you have proposed positively impact on climate change

Food security can thus be guaranteed over the long term even in the face of climate change.
Has a cost-benefit analysis been carried out?
Yes
If yes, summarize its main conclusions:
max 250 words
The cost benefit analysis revealed the following positive expected benefits:
• Increased number of farmers (at least 100) adopting conservation farming techniques;
• Increased crop yields by at least twice the original yield levels;
• Surplus production of food items, particularly mahangu and cowpeas;
• Increased sales of food items (as opposed to storing for own consumption);
• Increased percentage of disposable incomes;
• 100 farmers trained in technical aspects of conservation farming;
• 100 farmers trained in financial, human resource and marketing management;
• Enhanced ability of crops to cope with erratic rainfall and/or drought;
• Training of 100 farmers in HIV/AIDS prevention and possible community responses to challenges posed by
HIV/AIDS;
• Community response initiatives, at least one per community, to HIV/AIDS such as OVC care groups, or
HBC groups;

Section 8. Lessons learned
Related to human resources
(max 50 words)
CONTILL adoption by farmers is a process, not an overnight event. Farmers need to be assisted in
experiencing CONTILL themselves on their farms and also be assisted in adoption. Simply providing
implements and some introductory training is not sufficient. Careful introduction and support are
essential.
Related to financial aspects
(max 50 words)
The need to use a tractor drawn ripper furrower in the first year is a barrier to the adoption of CONTILL
by smallholder farmer. This expense is beyond many farmers, therefore a financing support mechanism
is necessary.
Related to technical aspects
(max 50 words)
CONTILL in itself is recognised as not being enough to reverse land degradation. The use of crop
residues and crop rotations (especially using nitrogen fixing legumes such as cowpea) are other
essential aspects that need to be adopted. Methods to stimulate greater demand for crops such as
mahangu are also necessary to increase the rewards for enhanced production.

Pensions and remittances and smallscale businesses are the main other sources.
Land tenure and land use rights: (max 50 words)
The region is dominated by communal land with people sharing access to common property resources in
open areas. The land is typically used by communities under usufruct tenureship with the land being vested
in the state
Short description of the best practice
max 250 words
The PGH best practice has been trialled on 3 conservancies. Each conservancy was divided up into grazing
areas. These smaller areas were mapped, and the farmers of several areas developed a land plan and
grazing plan for each area. Herders were appointed, and planned grazing started in five areas. A
precondition for becoming a part of this program is for all livestock owners to combine their herds into one
herd that is herded daily - allowing for planned grazing.The PGH approach is supported by the drilling of
boreholes and provision of water tanks in remoter areas with potentially good grazing.
PGH is not something new to the communal farmers. To a large extent, it is adapting the old way of farming
with cattle, before people became settled and stopped herding. The combination of the traditional and the
scientific in a socially acceptable way has been the key to progress so far resulting in traditional leaders
engaging with the program and taking credit for successes.
We are trialling planned grazing through three mechanisms:
1. A water tanker and trailer driving water to grazing areas without water;
2. Herding from existing homesteads or from new boreholes where homesteads have been established
close together, facilitating easier combining of animals;
3. The use of daily grazing camps using game capture nets as fencing, which are moved daily.
On the basis of which criteria and/or indicator(s) (not related to The Strategy) the proposed practice and
corresponding technology has been considered as ‘best’?
max 100 words
The PGH approach is a best practice example of integrating traditional knowledge with scientific
approaches to sustainable land management. Early results show that:
1. Grasses have started growing in places where they previously did not and annual plant density has
increased considerably. Moribund grass has also been removed or trampled and ground cover has
improved.
2. Livestock losses due to predators, theft, and calf mortalities are virtually zero now that herders
accompany stock.
3. Crop damage is reduced because livestock do not enter fields once elephants have broken the perimeter
fences.
4. Animal performance is as good, if not better, than adjacent un-herded animals.
Section 2. Problems addressed (direct and indirect causes) and objectives of the best practice
With respect to DLDD, the best practice directly contributes to:
Rehabilitation
Main problems addressed by the best practice
(max 50 words)
The main problem addressed by the best practice is the land degradation caused by the herding of
livestock around a single water point. Other problems addressed include the loss of perennial grasses,
livestock mortalities and pressure on the resource based
Outline specific land degradation problems addressed by the best practice
max 100 words
loss of perennial grasses, reduced compaction of the soil due to persistent trampling, lack of vegetative
cover, crop damages
Specify the objectives of the best practice
(max 50 words)
To contribute to an improved quality of life for communities in target areas by improving rangeland
productivity and biodiversity and thereby improving livelihood security using local cultural and
community bodies as holistic decision-making structures.
Section 3. Activities
Brief description of main activities, by objective
Objective 1
(max 50 words)
Visits were facilitated to successful Holistic Management farmers in South Africa and later Zimbabwe (The
Africa Centre for Holistic Management) with a cross section of residents, leaders and government
officials.
The visits resulted in powerful learning experiences. After each visit the principles of sound management
and what needed to be in place were discussed. On returning home, these principles were discussed at
the local level and a way forward mapped out.
Objective 2
(max 50 words)
Each target area is divided up into grazing areas. These smaller areas are mapped, and the farmers of
several areas develop a land plan and grazing plan for each area.
Herders are appointed, and planned grazing then begins.Boreholes may be drilled and installed for added
flexibility and increased access to new grazing areas. All livestock owners combine their herds into one
herd that is herded daily - allowing for planned grazing.

Impact on biodiversity and climate change
In your opinion does the best practice/technology you have proposed positively impact on biodiversity conservation?
Yes
max 250 words
Levels of forage, wildlife, and livestock production can all be increased through PGH. The increased herd
sizes open up opportunities for the use of concentrated animal impact to increase crop yields, restore
degraded pieces of land and to create firebreaks
mitigation?
No
max 250 words
No answer provided
adaptation?
Yes
max 250 words
The approach increases the resilience of communities to climate change as increased herd sizes act as a
buffer against drought and increased climatic variability. The increased productivity of perennial grasses
will equally boost the resilience of ecosystems to cope with climate change impacts

Can you identify the three main conditions that led to the success of the presented best practice/technology?
Examples of conditions leading to success may include: highly motivated local governments, farmers organized into well
structured cooperatives, extremely favorable weather conditions, etc. For each ‘condition of success’ you are able to

1. (max 50 words)
The use of an approach based largely on traditional knowledge
2. (max 50 words)
The approach is socially acceptable. Often approaches to sustainable land management promote
destocking, which is not acceptable to communal farmers as their wealth lies in their livestock numbers.
However PGH allows these farmers to increase their herds, while simultaneously improving the health of
their environment
3. (max 50 words)
Exposure trips are a powerful tool for communities to learn about and adopt best practice approaches
which can be applied in their environment
In your opinion, the best practice/technology you have proposed can be replicated, although with some level of
adaptation, elsewhere?
Yes
If yes, at which level?
Local
Sub-national
Section 8. Lessons learned
Related to human resources
(max 50 words)
Herders need to be kept motivated, internal community conflicts that impact on combining herds need to
be managed. PGH has been well received by government, regional council and farmers, and good
cooperation and support from stakeholders and support organisations has been noted PGH is seen as
socially and culturally compatible with past practices
