TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a methodological framework that has been developed in a joint European and developing countries project (LUPIS) to assess the impact of land use policies on sustainable development in developing countries.

TL;DR: An approach to derive relationships for defining land degradation and desertification risk and developing appropriate tools for assessing the effectiveness of the various land management practices using indicators is presented in the present paper.

TL;DR: This study aimed to test the transferability of the Framework for Participatory Impact Assessment (FoPIA), which was originally developed in the European context, to developing countries, in which lack of data often prevents the use of data-driven impact assessment methods.

TL;DR: In this study, various processes of land degradation and desertification have been analyzed in 17 study sites around the world using a wide set of biophysical and socioeconomic indicators to identify the most important variables contributing to each land degradation process.

TL;DR: It is concluded that participatory impact assessment contributes to an enhanced regional understanding of key linkages between policy effects and sustainable development, which provides the foundation for improved policy decision making.
