This paper explains what decentralised Land Use Plans (LUPs) are for, how to produce and implement them, and what needs to be done to make them into reference documents.

It draws on an initiative supported by AFD in the River Senegal valley, where the methods and tools for successful decentralised land management were updated in the 1990s and have been widely used since the 2000s.
