  • Reduce the rate of soil erosion by 15% for the entire country by 2030
  • Increase forest cover by 15% by 2030 as compared to 2015 (based on LUC results of the baseline)
  • Improve local data and develop a mechanism for the collection and management of land productivity and soil organic carbon (SOC) data for future monitoring needs
