Finally, we believe the PFI is an excellent demonstration of the value of different partners working together. PFI is a programme of the UNDP’s office to Combat Desertification and Drought and has actively sought collaborative partners at all levels. The Sida-funded Regional Land Management Unit (RELMA), has been staunch supporter of PFI through its East African network, and has contributed to PFI’s documentation process. PFI has also joined hands with the World Overview of Conservation Approaches and Technologies (WOCAT), which is rapidly becoming accepted as the standard tool for recording and evaluating soil and water conservation. Joining in this way strengthens each, and most importantly, there are added benefits to pass on to the target groups in the field.

Preface This publication is a testimony to the collaboration RELMA has maintained with UNDP-UNSO, Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, the Ministries of Agriculture in the Eastern Africa region and the World Overview of Conservation Approaches and Technologies (WOCAT). The first ventures between RELMA, UNDP-UNSO, and Vrije Universiteit involved the production of two publications namely, “Traditions and Innovation in land husbandry: Building on local knowledge in Kabale, Uganda” and “Promoting Farmer Innovation: Harnessing local environmental knowledge in East Africa”. The latter culminated in a video version, both being highly on demand necessitating two reprints. It is hoped that the current one, having built on the core areas of the second of these previous books will address pertinent issues that form contemporary concerns to the extension fraternity. The entry of WOCAT deserves particular recognition as they have brought in a technical dimension that will make local experiences available at a global level through the print media. In the past, this has hitherto been in electronic media via compact discs, which is still not accessible to the majority of intended readers. Farmers’ initiatives and innovativeness are superbly exemplified in this publication fitting pretty well with RELMA’s thematic focus of dryland management and its core motto to cross-fertilize knowledge, skills or experiences among the actors in the land management sector. The practitioners and partners of different kind should therefore find this publication useful. Åke Barklund Director, RELMA x
