Abstract

Sustainable Land and Water Management (SLWM) comprises a suite of technologies and practices crucial in promoting land, water, biodiversity and environmental management to ensure their long-term potential while sustaining ecosystem services and livelihoods. This policy document provides essential information regarding land use and water resources in Africa and their relation to climate change mitigation. It provides principles of best practices guidelines for SLWM along with pathways for scaling up practices to counter effects of extreme weather. Experience shows that SLWM can enhance food security and reduce poverty while helping to adapt to and mitigate climate change.
