City RegionsHealthy forests for recreation and water retention
Fresh, local food sources in urban core
Biodiverse and economically active coastal areas
Managed riparian
ecosystems
Peri-urban areas are biodiverse, mixed-use
food corridors

Financing Needs for ILM:Asset Investment
![Page 9: Financing Integrated Landscape Initiatives at Artisans of the Grasslands Savory Conference Plenary](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070520/58f23ae51a28abff768b4609/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Financing Needs for ILM:Enabling Investment
• Stakeholder engagement and cooperation
• Appropriate legal and regulatory framework
• Knowledge and capacity to plan and manage on a landscape scale
• Incentive mechanisms
![Page 10: Financing Integrated Landscape Initiatives at Artisans of the Grasslands Savory Conference Plenary](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070520/58f23ae51a28abff768b4609/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The investment case for ILM: enhanced returns
• Emission reductions
• PES payments• Reduction of costs
& land regeneration
• Capital value appreciation of companies at exit
• Long term capital gain from resilient and replicable agro-forestry projects
• Short & medium term cash flows from projects
• Diversified revenue streams (biomass, certified crops)

Imarisha Naivasha Achievements• Development of multi-stakeholder plans:
– Lake Naivasha Integrated Management Plan (LNIMP)– Sustainable Development Action Plan (SDAP)– Integrated Water Resource Action Plan Programme (IWRAP)
• Technical capacity building (monitoring, collection, analyses and dissemination of water data)
• Governance capacity• Improved land management practices by smallholders
(payments for ecosystem services)• Pilot water stewardship standard for large scale
horticulture• Sustainable development fund

Imarisha: Finance challenges• Most investment is water-focused• This sector-based focus has limited the ability for
integrated management solutions• Uncertainty about continuity for long-term solutions.
Need to cultivate investor motivations and ‘skin in the game’
• Payments for Ecosystem Services:– Industry views as a tax– Fairness concerns– How to scale from 1000 smallholders to 250,000?
• Strategic coordination of all sources of finance to serve integrated outcomes is needed

• Clarify, quantify and communicate• Mobilize public and civil society to
work across sector silos• Fund coordination of investments at
the landscape scale • Incentivize and facilitate asset
investment• Foster new partnerships
