Project Preparation: Support sustainable allocation and sequencing of projects through spatial-multi criteria assessments.

Project Implementation: Zonation and land management support through participatory GIS, surveying and land suitability assessments.

Monitoring and Evaluation: Assessment of key environmental, socio-demographic and economic performance indicators using remote sensing, thematic models and statistical surveys.

Publication and Communication: Efficient information distribution and involvement of stakeholders through online, interactive geodatabrowsers.
