The project objective is to strengthen SLM governance frameworks to combat LD processes in the semiarid region of the state of Sergipe in the NE of Brazil. The project strategy includes two main outcomes to directly address the barriers that undermine widespread adoption of SLM practices in the state. Outcome 1 will lead to the establishment of an improved governance framework through the revision of state-level plans and sector programs, effective cross-sectoral and inter-institutional coordination mechanisms in Sergipe, improved licensing and oversight processes, a supportive national-level governance framework and information dissemination. Outcome 2 will promote increased uptake of SLM through the implementation of best practices, strengthened state-level extension services and increased access to funding. The spatial scope of each output is in Table 10.
