A Practical Guide to Integrated Landscape Management

Overview

Working towards ILM requires reaching agreement on a shared landscape vision and strategy among stakeholders who have different and sometimes competing priorities, often with diverse interests, perspectives, influence, cultures and languages, and sometimes with histories of conflict. Though each landscape is singular, LPs all encounter common challenges in carrying out collaborative action. To make the process easier, more effective and more inclusive, the 1000L initiative developed this Practical Guide to ILM by incorporating the collective experience of 1000L partners, including EcoAgriculture Partners.

The guide provides a generic, locally adaptable, conceptual process and practical guidance for carrying out ILM. It describes each of the five elements of the ILM process. For each element, we illustrate two to four concrete outputs that landscape partnerships can produce to demonstrate progress, and provide foundational materials to share with their partners.To accompany the Practical Guide, a curated Tool Guide has also been developed to supplement each element and output described in this document.
