The present report gives the complete description of the preparation of a land use map and also the preparation of a national map of livestock intensity, needed as LUS input. The present method allows the preparation of a multi-country land use map in two weeks with the work of 13 experts, and is comparable to the continuous of 130 working days. Further to that, the LUS has been validated with the support of GIS consultants. The report details the work realised during the workshop describing the LUS preparation for the United Republic of Tanzania.

En el marco de la gobernanza moderna, la transparencia significa reconocer la responsabilidad de proporcionar informaciones. El sistema de las Naciones Unidas, como un servicio público mundial, tiene que dar el ejemplo al suministrar información a sus Estados Miembros, órganos rectores, asociados y otras partes interesadas sobre sus recursos y principales logros, proponiéndola en un formato de fácil lectura. Sin embargo, muchas de las actividades llevadas a cabo por el sistema de las Naciones Unidas en general, y de la FAO en particular, no se conocen muy bien.

El presente documento realiza una síntesis de las experiencias de manejo y gestión de cuencas en el Ecuador; a la vez que, a partir de teorías y tendencias relacionadas con este tema hace también una reflexión sobre las mismas. Además expone un estudio de caso en una cuenca gestionada a través de un proyecto de la FAO para mostrar una metodología de evaluación rápida, de tipo cualitativa, basada en opiniones de los diferentes actores que han participado en el proceso, así como en las visiones externas de técnicos que visitaron el sitio.

Le projet Kagera TAMP est financé par le Fonds pour l’environnement mondial (FEM), en partenariat avec les gouvernements, les programmes partenaires et les donateurs, au niveau des pays et de la région. L’ensemble du projet a été révisé et intégré dans le programme de travail du FEM, avec un financement approuvé de 7 millions de $EU, dans le cadre du Programme stratégique d’investissement pour la gestion durable des terres en Afrique Subsaharienne.
