! focus on promoting profitable AFOLU activities by addressing other constraints to adoption, such as lack of technical, financial and organizational capacity. Based on this review, we have identified eight options to help take advantage of the opportunities and overcome the constraints to increased use of SLM in SSA to mitigate and adapt to climate change: 1. Advocate improvements in the post-Kyoto agreement that address these opportunities and constraints, including o Expanding eligibility in the CDM to include all activities that sequester carbon or reduce emissions of GHGs, including REDD and AFOLU activities; o Agreeing to national targets for GHG levels of developing countries, and use a full GHG national accounting approach to credit reductions relative to baselines (approach could be pilot tested in a few countries and for a specific set of activities first); and o Increasing funding for adaptation measures. 2. Simplify and improve the procedures to access funds under the CDM, adaptation funds and other relevant funds. 3. Explore existing opportunities to increase participation in voluntary carbon markets. 4. Expand knowledge generation and outreach efforts on the problems of climate variability and change, land degradation, their linkages, and options for solution. 5. Improve coordination of efforts to address climate and land degradation and integration with key government strategies and processes. 6. Expand investment in strengthening technical, organizational and human capacity relevant to climate and land management issues in SSA. 7. Engage community leaders, farmers and other resource users in program and project development. 8. Address specific policy, institutional and other constraints to SLM and climate change mitigation and adaptation at national and local level in the context of Country Strategic Investment Frameworks (CSIFs). ! #"!
! To achieve success in the first two options, it will be quite important for stakeholders concerned about SLM issues in SSA, including African governments, the UNCCD, NEPAD, the TerrAfrica partnership, and civil society organizations to be actively involved in advocating a continuation of the CDM, inclusion of AFOLU and REDD projects in the CDM, and expansion of adaptation funds. The remaining options are not closely bound to the UNFCCC process, and can be addressed within the context of the NEPAD/CAADP and TerrAfrica process to develop CSIFs for SLM in each country. To achieve effective synergies with climate change issues in these processes, it will be important to involve key stakeholders from the climate change community in these processes, where they are not yet involved. ! #""!
