Report of the External Review of the Systemwide program on Alternatives to Slash and burn (ASB)

ASB team members are very appreciative of the tremendous effort put forth by the Review Panel to produce a carefully considered, objective and thorough evaluation of the ASB System-wide Programme. This is the fourth external review of the ASB Programme, but the first sponsored by the CGIAR. We greatly appreciate the Science Councils interest in and support for this timely review. It focuses far more than previous reviews on the Programmes impact in the words of the Panel, on its accomplishments and original contributions to the understanding and practice of iNRM in the worlds tropical forest margins. The members of the ASB Consortium, its Global Steering Group (GSG), and its Global Coordination Office (GCO) have found this review to be particularly useful in stimulating thought and discussion about the impacts of the Programme, the effectiveness of our informal organisational structure, and our future directions. We value the insights and recommendations put forth by the panel and , as we move forward into our second decade, we see this review as a significant benchmark against which we will be able to measure the success of current and future endeavours.
