Overview
The Strategic Programmes were established to substantiate GM’s operations at country and (sub)regional levels.
These programmes are intended to enhance country-level impact by engaging actors and linking with sectors that have not traditionally been involved in UNCCD implementation, but which have significant potential for increasing investment flows for combating desertification and promoting Sustainable Land Management (SLM).
By developing networks and partnerships with external resources - including key institutions and authorities in the various strategic fields, the Strategic Programmes aim to develop an up-to-date knowledge base.
This knowledge will be drawn upon to:
- substantiate approaches to Convention implementation
- accurately and timely inform national and regional processes; and
- develop capacity to mobilize resources and increase investments, from all sources for a range of target audiences.
Information will be tailored and packaged according to the target audience and country for which it is intended.
The GM’s strategic programmes to date are:
- Economics and Financing Instruments
- Market Access &Trade
- Climate Change & Compensation for Environmental Services
- Private Sector Partnerships
- Civil Society Partnerships
- Policy and Investment Analysis
- Gender
- Forestry

These programmes were carefully selected on the basis of their potential to create favourable frame conditions for investment and for the mobilization of resources from public and private sources both at international and domestic levels.
Additional strategic programmes may be designed to increase the comprehensive nature of the GM’s approach to UNCCD implementation at country level.
