Policy implications in terms of:
 Promoting higher utilization of inputs like fertilizer among smallholder farmer to enhance
productivity and conservation of land and forest resources
 Credit and Extension provision
 Facilitation of private sector participation through infrastructure development

WAY FORWARD WITH ILUA
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Establishing a national database on the land use resources - contribute to
sustainable natural resource management
Support the establishing of a long-term resource monitoring system across
multiple sectors (institutionalizing ILUA to provide detailed data to REDD)
Support dissemination of reliable and update information on land use to policy
and decision makers and the general public.
Identify social, cultural, environmental and economic aspects of land use and
land use change to address a number of issues such as climate change,
floods, land degradation, deforestation, research, etc
To stimulate the implementation of best practice guidelines (reclassification of
protected areas) in fire management, timber harvesting, tree planting, carbon
accounting, etc.
6.
Strengthen positive synergies across sectors
7.
Encourage value augmenting activities, wildlife ranching, eco-tourism,
carbon markets and trading ,etc
Improve on scientific approaches to data generation (local modeling) and
capacity building within FD
