INTEGRATED LAND USE ASSESSMENT (ILUA) – ZAMBIA

JUNE 2005 – JULY/OCTOBER 2008

• The MTENR is undertaking a National Integrated Land

Use Assessment Project (ILUA) with financial and

technical assistance of the FAO. (TCP/ZAM/3007 – A);

• FAO Netherlands Partnership program (FNPP);

• Finnish Government through a trust fund,

GCP/ZAM/065/FIN; and

• The Government of the Republic of Zambia.

ILUA Objective

• Assist Zambia land use institutions to develop and strengthen their capacity to collect, compile, and process and disseminate reliable up-to-date information to policy makers;

• Plan and carry out national land use assessment

• Develop up-to-date integrated land use information system; and

• Set up a long term land use monitoring system.

Policy implications

• Based on this analysis of ILUA data which was carried out in order to identify the required key information to link it to relevant national policies and action plans related to agriculture and forestry, the study offers the following policy implications:

• The country has a large population under extreme poverty. Even though poverty is widespread, the majority of people in Zambia who are affected by high poverty levels are predominantly found in rural areas. The country’s poor and non-poor are closely associated with agriculture and the greatest gains on poverty reduction can be achieved through stimulating an efficient agricultural sector. This is further reinforced by the observation that the periods of highest economic growth in most developing countries coincide with the periods when agriculture was most vibrant. This observation in itself implies that for anti-poverty programmes to achieve the intended, they have to be designed and implemented in a manner that takes into account the large presence of the chronic poor in rural areas. There is need to design poverty reduction programmes that favourthe agricultural sector.

WAY FORWARD (beyond field data collection, analysis and outputs),GRZ and Cooperating Partners can lead further support and addedvalue: Extension of ILUA Phase one

• Filling gaps in information of ILUA

- Complete ILUA database with reliable information for various uses

- Increase sample size in selected provinces

• Dissemination of ILUA information

- Agreed data sharing policy for ILUA data; Operational “one-stop-shop” also use of

CD, Internet

- Link web-based ILUA site to/from livestock censu s data and population census etc

• Improved data by Remote Sensing methodological development and testing for

monitoring of forest biomass and forest degradation

- Human capacity in collecting and analyzing data for REDD and carbon balance

accounting

• To stimulate the implementation of best practice guidelines in (fire management,

timber harvesting, tree planting, carbon accounting etc
