The Land Degradation Neutrality Technical Assistance Facility (LDN TAF)
Investments in sustainable land management practices are needed to avoid, reduce and reverse land degradation. However, project preparedness can be a major bottleneck for Sustainable Land Management investment. In 2018, IDH was selected to establish the LDN technical assistance facility (TAF) helps to alleviate this bottleneck, and link projects to the LDN Fund and LDN impacts.
LDN TAF Services
Technical Assistance (TA) is essentially advisory, assistance or training that is provided to enable the investment transaction, reduce risks and increase development impact.
The LDN TAF can provide grants and reimbursable grants to (potential) LDN investment projects, tailored according to the stage and attributes of each project, including:
- Pre-investment stage TA, for projects that are developing an investment proposal, to provide support to meet the LDN Fund investment criteria.
- Post-investment TA, to projects in implementation stage so that project developers have greater capacity to implement projects to a higher technical standard and/or with increased positive social and environmental impacts.
- Impact monitoring TA, to LDN Fund investees to strengthen their capacity to monitor their impacts and practice adaptive management more effectively.
Pre-investment support requests can be submitted to the LDN TAF through this website. Post investment and impact monitoring support for projects are provided based on an assessment that is performed together with the LDN Fund.
