Technical bookMetodología de evaluación participativa de pastizales y praderas (PRAGA) 2024
Also available in:
No results found.La metodología de evaluación participativa de pastizales y praderas (PRAGA) se desarrolló a través del proyecto "Evaluación participativa de la degradación de la tierra y la gestión sostenible de la tierra en los sistemas de pastizales y pastos", financiado por el Fondo para el Medio Ambiente Mundial y ejecutado por la FAO y la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza. La metodología se puso a prueba en cinco países (Burkina Faso, Kenya, Kirguistán, Níger y el Uruguay) para comprobar su eficacia y valor. Se hicieron las revisiones necesarias a la metodología, basadas en las lecciones aprendidas de su aplicación. Este documento contiene información de fondo sobre los pastizales y las praderas a nivel mundial y describe la necesidad y el principio rector de las evaluaciones de la salud de los pastizales, así como orientaciones prácticas sobre cómo llevar a cabo una evaluación rentable. -
Evaluation reportTerminal evaluation of the project "Participatory assessment of land degradation and sustainable land management in grassland and pastoral systems
Project code: GCP/GLO/530/GFF - GEF ID: 5724
2022Also available in:
No results found.The project ‘Participatory assessment of land degradation and sustainable land management in grassland and pastoral systems’ was implemented from 2017 to 2021 in Burkina Faso, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, the Niger, and Uruguay. The project successfully developed and tested a participatory rangeland and grassland assessment methodology (PRAGA); providing a practical tool for collecting data and information on rangeland and grassland health, thereby contributing to enable informed decision-making for sustainable rangeland and grassland management – thus aligning with UNCCD and SDG 15 (Life on Land). The evaluation provides five recommendations: i) develop strategies for facilitating the use by national stakeholders of remote sensing and GIS; ii) strengthen the gender dimension; iii) refine and promote PRAGA as a tool for monitoring of national CBD and UNFCCC commitments; iv) integrate more PRAGA assessments in interventions that invest in tangible rangeland management improvements; and v) establish an institutional home in FAO for rangeland and grassland management. -
Technical bookParticipatory rangeland and grassland assessment (PRAGA) methodology 2022
Also available in:
No results found.This participatory grassland and rangeland assessment (PRAGA) methodology was developed for the assessment of rangelands and grasslands in selected project countries. It was developed through the project “Participatory assessment of land degradation and sustainable land management in grassland and pastoral systems”, financed by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and executed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The methodology was piloted in five countries – Burkina Faso, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Niger and Uruguay – to test its effectiveness and value. Necessary revisions were made to the methodology, based on lessons learned from its application. This document contains background information on global grasslands and rangelands and describes the need and the guiding principle for rangeland health assessments and practical guidance on how to conduct cost-effective assessment. It is divided into two parts: Part I: Background information on grasslands and rangelands Part II: Guidance for the preparation, assessment and monitoring of grasslands and rangelands at the local level The methodology has been designed with enough flexibility to adapted to specific contexts and countries along the nine steps laid out in the document.
