Objective D1 - Collaborative Platform

Label	Title	Description
Collaborative Platform	Provide a digital collaborative platform, including regional portals	A boosted electronic collaborative platform, including regional portals, facilitates and strengthens collaboration and exchange between stakeholders within and around the Initiative.

Targets D1 - Collaborative Platform

Baseline 2020	Target 2030	Target 2050
Collaborative platform 2.0 is fully operational for the Secretariat, the STC, and the Bureau.	Collaborative platform 2.0 is developed at the five regional levels of the Initiative and is fully operational for all members and partners of the "4 per 1000" Initiative and all interested actors.	The collaborative platform is fully operational.

Problem Statement	Description	Consequences
There is a lack of platforms that enable collaboration and information sharing for unified action.	There is a lack of cohesion in addressing SH and soil regeneration globally. Stakeholders often work in silos, and synergetic potentials are overlooked. Efforts and work to improve SH are lost in the myriad of issues being addressed to combat climate change.	This results in uncoordinated and duplicated action and the repeated implementation of unsuccessful strategies, which undermines efforts. Farmers' and other stakeholders' lack of information and scientific support will hinder the shift towards sustainable soil management and cause further degradation of soils.

N°	Cause	Description
1	Ignorance of the need for a collaborative platform	Not wanting to change and try new up-to-date information systems delays some initiatives. As a result, their visibility and the visibility of their actions are hindered. The "4 per 1000" Initiative has no comprehensive knowledge management concept that demonstrates the added value for stakeholders.

N°	Activity	Description
1	Explain the benefits of a collaborative platform	Make people understand what a collaborative platform is and demonstrate its value to stakeholders.
2	Develop the platform interactively	Pursue agile and demand-driven development of the collaborative platform.
3	Develop regional platforms	Set up interconnected platforms at the regional level to coordinate activities under similar climatic and soil conditions.
4	Promote the use of the platform at appropriate levels	Encourage countries to use the platform for collaborative actions regarding data reporting, information sharing, and stakeholder mobilization.
5	Train users and managers	Ensure empowerment of stakeholders and operators of the collaborative platform.

N°	Critical Success Factors	Description
1	Expanding the scope of the platform	It is crucial to ensure the broadest possible participation of many stakeholders who influence land use and thus soil dynamics. Scientific support is needed for information platforms on the causes of soil degradation and pollution to stop the devastating trend and develop problem-solving approaches.
2	An inclusive approach to cover all aspects	To include information on a broad range of issues covering soil degradation with scientific support. Benefits of science and indigenous traditional knowledge. One must understand all climate zone and issues, so the key is the availability of knowledge and data for all CZ to make it a to-go platform for problem-solving for soil.
3	Diffusion of the research results	The research results must reach the producers, and they must tend to be simple to use and understand.
4	Added value for stakeholders	Added value must be clear and should meet the demand of stakeholders.

N°	Barrier	Description
1	Lack of resources	Resources are missing in developing countries (Funds, equipment, infrastructure, etc.).
2	Language Communication	Content and information must be exchangeable in several languages for easier access.
3	People's mentality, unwillingness to change	If people refuse to change, try new ways to collaborate, and be transparent, there will be no solutions to the problem.
