Capetown, South Africa
The Country SLM Investment Framework (CSIF)
Overview
Part one:
What is it
Part two:
Engaging in a CSIF
An operational tool for programmatic engagement
OUR LAND – OUR WEALTH, OUR FUTURE, IN OUR HANDS
The CSIF is a tool for implementing the TerrAfrica Country Engagement Strategy
The CES is not a step-by-step prescription for engagement at the country level. Rather, it is a broad guide on how the engagement process should be conducted.
The CSIF will deal with and adapt to country-specific situations. It is a tool for countries to align sectors, stakeholders, and donors around an operational roadmap.
This will be elaborated in Part One: What is CSIF
Overview: What is the CSIF?
OUR LAND – OUR WEALTH, OUR FUTURE, IN OUR HANDS
Countries engage in a CSIF along a continuum between two poles:
1. Full CSIF – full programmatic approach (corresponds with Country Program)
2. Preliminary CSIF – puts countries on the track toward more programmatic approach (corresponds with Targeted Investments)
This will be elaborated in Part Two: Engaging in a CSIF

The Country SLM Investment Framework (CSIF)
Overview
Part one:

Part two:
Engaging in a CSIF
Part One: What is it?
A tool for countries to align sectors, stakeholders, and donors around an operational roadmap.
OUR LAND – OUR WEALTH, OUR FUTURE, IN OUR HANDS
CSIF: Goal & Value Added
Goal: establish a country-owned operational roadmap for aligning sectors and donors around programmatic investment, in line with the CES
Objective: mainstream and scale-up SLM to secure ecosystem services and enhance rural livelihoods
Value added:• Improve investment quality, targeting, and sequencing • Lower transaction costs• Leverage co-financing that is more catalytic, strategic, and
cost-effective• Promote use of accurate and comparable M&E indicators• Assist climate-proofing of SLM
OUR LAND – OUR WEALTH, OUR FUTURE, IN OUR HANDS
CSIF is a tool, not a condition, and follows CES principles
CSIF is owned, produced, and led by countries
CSIF is multi-sector, multi-stakeholder and multi-financier
CSIF builds upon and helps implement existing priorities found in:PRSPs, CAADP and EAP processes, NAPs, sector strategies, adaptation studies/strategies, basin action programs, etc.
CSIF is living document: regular updating, and keyed to national development planning
CSIF: Characteristics
OUR LAND – OUR WEALTH, OUR FUTURE, IN OUR HANDS
What is investment in the CSIF context
Not only physical investment (ie, the hardware):• civil works, equipment, goods, inputs
But also the software:• Invest in human capital (e.g. training)• strengthen the knowledge base (e.g. filling key research
gaps and linking to investment decisions)• Strengthen institutions and governance• improve financial, policy, and economic incentives

3. Strengthening commercial and advisory services for SLM
4. Developing effective SLM knowledge management, M&E and information dissemination systems
CSIF: Components
OUR LAND – OUR WEALTH, OUR FUTURE, IN OUR HANDS
1. Supporting on-the-ground activities for scaling up SLM
Activities:
• 1.1 Identification of best entry points for scaling up SLM to achieve ecosystem integrity.
• 1.2 Capacity building for SLM implementers (farmers, forest users, rural community members, etc.) to support integrated approaches to natural resources management.
• 1.3 SLM investment pilots/demonstration sites with embedded scale-up strategy.
• 1.4 Strengthening farmer/producer organizations for adoption and up-scaling of SLM practices
• 1.5 Providing incentives for SLM adoption (including support to design of environmental services payments, targeted matching grants or credit programmes).
OUR LAND – OUR WEALTH, OUR FUTURE, IN OUR HANDS
2. Creating a conducive enabling environment for SLM
Activities:• 2.1 Integrating SLM into national and sectoral development frameworks at
national and decentralised levels.• 2.2 Integrating SLM objectives and requirements into institutional and legal
reform processes • 2.3 Capacity building for SLM at all levels, to support awareness, coalition
building and advocacy.• 2.4 Strengthening cross-sectoral spatial planning systems at the national
and decentralised level to prioritize investments between agro-ecosystems and types of intervention.
• 2.5 Reviewing country investment programmes and public expenditure frameworks to identify constraints and entry points for SLM and to increase predictability of financial flows to SLM.
• 2.6 Analysing and rectifying incentive frameworks for SLM.• 2.7 Building or strengthening early warning systems, contingency and
response capacity.• 2.8 Strengthening traditional and innovative conflict resolution mechanisms
to avoid, mitigate and resolve conflicts over NR
OUR LAND – OUR WEALTH, OUR FUTURE, IN OUR HANDS
3. Strengthening commercial and advisory services for SLM
Activities:• 3.1 Identify non-policy constraints/bottlenecks to SLM
adoption.• 3.2 Capacity building for SLM service providers.• 3.3 Strengthening input suppliers (seeds, tools,
seedlings, etc.).• 3.4 Marketing support for outputs from SLM, including
certification systems to strengthen fair trade and eco-labelling schemes.
• 3.5 Strengthening providers of financial services to offer financial products to support SLM adoption.
OUR LAND – OUR WEALTH, OUR FUTURE, IN OUR HANDS
4. Developing effective SLM knowledge management, M&E and information ‘dissemination systems
Activities:• 4.1 Supporting targeted and applied SLM research (technical,
economic, social), including long-term ecological research and monitoring, directly linked to scale-up agenda.
• 4.2 Support knowledge sharing and innovation networks based upon participatory/community-driven and iterative approaches.
• 4.3. Strengthen capacity of SLM stakeholders for innovation• 4.4 Developing M&E MIS for SLM for CSIF implementation
and evaluation• 4.5 Developing effective national dissemination strategies for
lessons and best practices (to complement regional TerrAfrica efforts).
OUR LAND – OUR WEALTH, OUR FUTURE, IN OUR HANDS
Selecting priority interventions – various options: • thematic: between or within CSIF Components• geographic: high-potential vs. low-potential areas,
hotspots/brightspots, priority ecosystems, • technical: prevention versus rehabilitation
Creating early momentum with quick wins:• identify and dismantle perverse incentives• build upon successes• use and strengthen existing SLM institutions• bring SLM into existing programs• start with low cost and low risk investments
Harmonization & Alignment• horizontal and vertical, between stakeholders and donors
Prioritization and harmonization

The Country SLM Investment Framework (CSIF)
Overview
Part one:
What is it
Part two:
Engaging in a CSIF
Part Two: Engaging in a CSIF
Two types along a continuum: preliminary and full CSIFs, supporting development of targeted investments and country programs
OUR LAND – OUR WEALTH, OUR FUTURE, IN OUR HANDS
Countries must first decide where on the continuum they are in terms of programmatic approaches to SLM:
Full CSIF, leading to a country program for countries with strong diagnostics and political ownership of the SLM agenda
• A country program implements all or most priority investments in a full CSIF
Preliminary CSIF, defining targeted investments for countries lacking strong analytical underpinnings and political/institutional support for full program
• Implement selective priorities identified in preliminary CSIF• Process leads toward progressively more comprehensive CSIF
and possible country program
Two types of engagement
OUR LAND – OUR WEALTH, OUR FUTURE, IN OUR HANDS
• Political will to make SLM a national priority
• Commitment and alignment of development partners, with one lead partner to catalyze process
• Broad-based coalition-building• Leadership of “SLM champions” in a National Task Force
• Sub-national fora and groups
• Multi-level and cross-sectoral
• Multi-stakeholder: private, public, civil society, development partners
• SLM sensitization and awareness-raising at all levels
• Regional partners (NEPAD and RECs) support the process
on a demand-driven basis
Step 1 – Engaging in the process
OUR LAND – OUR WEALTH, OUR FUTURE, IN OUR HANDS
• Stocktaking• Strategies, institutions, policies
• Public expenditure on SLM
• Best practices
• Existing projects and programs
• Ecosystems and landscapes: LD issues, trends and local/sub-national stakeholder expectations/needs
• Analysis• LD drivers and ecosystems at risk
• Barriers and bottlenecks
• Threats and opportunities (e.g. climate change, bioenergy)
• Potential synergies and trade-offs between multiple objectives
Step 2 – Diagnostics
OUR LAND – OUR WEALTH, OUR FUTURE, IN OUR HANDS
• Investment framework• Based upon:
• national priorities;
• SLM diagnostic; and
• expectations of stakeholders.
• Participatory identification and prioritization of investments
• Harmonized, coherent and cost-effective
• CSIF components guide the structure of the framework
Step 3 – Investment design and programming
OUR LAND – OUR WEALTH, OUR FUTURE, IN OUR HANDS
Step 4 – Implementation,monitoring and evaluation
• Participatory implementation of investment projects• Outputs, activities, M&E
• Budget, time frame, responsibilities, funding and delivery mechanisms
• Early, rapid momentum from first set of interventions
• M&E transparent and participatory to feed into CSIF update
• Regular updating of CSIF
• CSIF task force/stakeholder forum members must ensure that CSIF priorities are fed back into sectoral and other planning processes
