Description This paper examines the potential role of innovation platforms (IPs) in facilitating the adoption and scaling up of Sustainable Land
Management (SLM) practices in East Africa, where land degradation has been a prime challenge affecting food security, livelihoods,
and environmental services. Land degradation in Ethiopia has been costing about 3% of the agricultural gross domestic product with an
estimated value of US$7 billion over a 20year
period (Berry 2003). Similarly, communities around Mount Elgon in Uganda have been
seriously affected by land degradation in multiple ways, including recurrent landslides, which have caused many deaths and destroyed
livelihoods
