    This paper reviews past studies on the
    costs of land degradation in Ethiopia, with a view to
    drawing implications for policies, programs, and future
    research on sustainable land management (SLM). Given the

    empirical analysis; (ii) develop a sound methodology for
    conducting SLM PERs, which could guide similar work in the

    Poverty, environment, social
    development, and gender are important cross-cutting themes
    of the World Bank and government investment programs,
    especially within the Sustainable Development Network (SDN).
    For developing sectoral strategies and programs, economic,
    environment and social assessments are undertaken, however,
    these are usually done separately, and most often gender
    issues are not included. This is a missed opportunity,
