Mapping (sketch)

The purpose of this method is to provide a visual representation of information in a particular geographical context based on stakeholders’ perceptions of any focus issue or indicator that is being monitored and evaluated:

  • physical, such as available resources and their use, key problem areas, (proposed) innovations, where land degradation problems are and where improvements have been noticed, or regarding a specific topic like maize trials;
  • social, ownership- or gender-differentiated use of natural resources, etc.
