Appendix HAdditional EvidenceH1. Locations of Agriculture Projects in AfricaTable H.1 and Figure H.1 show <strong>the</strong> geographical distribution of active projectlocations by aridity and remoteness.Table H.1.

Attention focuses on <strong>the</strong> projects in <strong>the</strong> remote drylands,since <strong>the</strong>se are likely <strong>the</strong> poorest and most vulnerable locations. Although <strong>the</strong>majority of <strong>the</strong>se projects by count involved biodiversity conservation, those withSLWM accounted for three-quarters of <strong>the</strong> expenditure. The projects typicallyfollowed a community-driven development model, where communities chose froma menu of options. In most cases, capacity development was also supported. This istrue also for <strong>the</strong> projects with mixed remote/non-remote locations.Table H.2.
