ABSTRACT

The project Conserve Water to Save Soil and the Environment was started in south-west Uganda in 1994 with the aim of building on local traditions of SWC and developing a methodological approach for wider application. In 1997 it was incorporated into the ISWC programme. Two years later, the impact of the more than five years of project activities was assessed. This chapter presents the main findings and lessons for programmes focused on promoting local innovation in land husbandry.
