It is the result of a participatory process to highlight issues, experiences and challenges related to integrated land resources planning and management for the 8th session of the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD 8) which will examine, among others, the progressin the implementation of chapter 10 of Agenda 21. The approach is centred on the concept of stakeholdersand their objectives, and the role of the government in creating the conditions within which rural people canuse their land resources productively and sustainably. Integration of grass-roots participation withsystematic procedures for evaluation of resources and planning is the key to this approach, and a necessaryfactor for its success.
