Her Expectations from ALD:

“I expect to learn how other landscape initiatives have managed to achieve a balance between different competing resource uses. I want to understand the role of academic institutions coming out strongly in line with the evidence-based approach to ensure linkages between practices and policies. I would like to see improved networking with different organizations, projects, programmes and Integrated Landscape Management (ILM) initiatives and expand opportunities for sharing of knowledge, experiences and capacity building (globally, regionally and nationally). I want to learn new tools for designing successful ILM programmes /initiatives/ and projects, and to experience how opportunities and sharing of resources for the ILM initiatives as a ‘community of practice’ will be bringing unique experiences in this area. Furthermore, I would like to see the role of communities and civil society organizations involvement in productive engagement activities in landscape management activities in their localities in Africa.”
