Sustainable Landscapes Opportunity Analysis (SLOA) Scope of Work Templates

USAID’s Sustainable Landscapes Opportunity Analyses (SLOAs) provide a national-level overview of land conservation, restoration, and management interventions to reduce GHG emissions. They help Missions meet the criteria for use of Sustainable Landscapes funds, which, among other things, require that programs must be informed by analyses and evidence to focus efforts on the highest potential for land-based mitigation, taking into account the context and USAID’s comparative advantage and manageable interest.

The templates, guides, and other resources in this document aim to make it simpler for Missions to undertake a SLOA, ensuring that future SLOAs are created in a uniform manner and can be tailored to local needs. This standardized approach will help USAID make evidence-based programming decisions.
