Under the direction provided by the WDS, the Government of the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) requested the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to take a lead role in facilitating the preparation of a long term PRCGlobal Environment Facility (GEF) Partnership on Land Degradation in Dryland Ecosystems (the Partnership), under Operational Program (OP) 12 on Integrated Ecosystem Management (IEM). It was agreed that the Partnership would 1) tackle land degradation issues through an integrated, participatory, and crosssectoral approach aimed at the root causes, and resolve inherently conflicting policies; 2) evolve effective mechanisms to coordinate policies, programs, and actions by various sectoral agencies operating in the areas of agricultural and rural development, land, forestry and water management, environmental protection, finance, and planning; 3)mainstream stakeholder participation and introduce effective and transparent monitoring and evaluation systems to assess the outcomes and impact of efforts to combat land degradation and reduce poverty.
