Technical support was provided to undertake cost-benefit analyses, and as well in the formulation of the Country Strategic Investment Framework (CSIF) on SLWM. Subsequently, SLWM priorities have been integrated into national environmental and agricultural frameworks. In addition, the CSIF serves as a key national policy document that strengthens alignment and guides technical and financial implementation support of in-country and external development actors in the environment sector. The support was possible through the TerrAfrica Leveraging Fund (TLF).
Additional support was provided to its coffee project. The TerrAfrica Activities in Support of the Sustainable Coffee Landscape Project were meant to help prepare and plan the SLM communication and participatory activities to feed into the design of the project.  The activities supported include analytical work on SLM communications and preparatory activities for the GEF Sustainable Coffee Landscape Project. This will enable scaling up of investments in sustainable land and water management (SLWM) practices in coffee areas and conservation of biodiversity in protected areas, and will contribute to the establishment of management corridors between sustainable shade-grown coffee plantations and protected areas. In Burundi, the upper watersheds main land use is coffee production, while the lower watersheds include some of the most significant wetlands of Burundi. Total TerrAfrica leveraging Fund (TLF) support was $307,523.
