About PISLM
Partnership Initiative for Sustainable Land Management – Leading environmental stewardship and community empowerment in the Caribbean
The Partnership Initiative for Sustainable Land Management (PISLM) was formulated as a part of the Technical Programme of the Caribbean SIDS Programme – an initiative that was adopted at the 14th Session of the Forum of Ministers of the Environment for Latin America and the Caribbean held in Panama in November 2003.
This initiative was then endorsed by the CARICOM/COTED on the Environment in 2008 to provide a framework for assisting Country Parties in the implementation of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification and Drought (UNCCD), and for addressing the land management component of the Barbados Program of Action (BPOA) and the Mauritius Strategy (MSI) in Caribbean SIDS. Further, it was decided at COP 10 (decision) that PISLM shall act as reporting entity for Caribbean SIDS with regards to the preparation and submission of reports on the implementation of the sub-regional programmes referred to in paragraph 2 of decision 8/COP.8. As such, PISLM serves as a mechanism to facilitate the exchange of good land management practices between participating countries and serves as a mechanism for stimulating the replication of approaches, tools, and methodologies throughout the region.
PISLM will act as the Executing Agency for the project, and work in close collaboration with the ECU.
