TransVic - Objectives

TransVic objectives were:

• Assessing problems:
  Identify and evaluate land management ‘hot spots’ in the Lake Victoria Basin and identify intervention points for preventing or mitigating degredation in these hot spot.
• Designing options:
  Identify and evaluate technologies, institutional arrangements and policies for alleviating poverty while protecting the local and regional environment of the Lake Victoria Basin.
• Assessing impact:
  Quantify the actual and potential impacts of promising land management interventions on human welfare (food security, income, gender equality) and the environment (soil quality, water quality and hydrologic function).
• Improve linkages with development partners:
  Enhance research and extension linkages for improved land management in the Lake Victoria basin.
