From Projects to Systems:From Projects to Systems:
• It is easy to think about projects, much more difficult to get integrated catchment systems.
• This will take time, but without it, progress will tend to stop-start depending on funds. • Terrain encourages all countries to start building the health of their catchment management systems alongside projects.
• Terrain is a specialist organisation that can support donor agencies, countries and catchment regions to build systems.
