Resource information
The overall objectives of the study were to collect and analyse LUP methodologies in the 4 countries and to assess the experiences and lessons learned during implementation. The comparative assessment would include land use planning approaches at various levels, ranging from participatory village level LUP activities to the elaboration of land use master plans at provincial or even regional level. Finally, recommendations were to be formulated for the countries as well as for the sub-region as a whole. This study also tries to give some indications on how the AIFP/WSM component of the MRC could enhance land use planning practices in the countries of the sub-region. Due to the general concept of the component this would mainly involve support to training courses and events of regional exchange and some limited application of refined LUP approaches in selected pilot areas.
