The Land-use Planner is an interactive economic tool to inform land-use planning processes. It helps stakeholders develop land-use scenarios in a simple and participatory way, compare social, economic and environmental impacts, and estimate the costs and benefits of policy decisions. It helps inform land-use decisions at jurisdictional level and can assist transitions to deforestation-free commodity production for a given territory or supply chain.

The Land-use Planner has been used in Cameroon and Côte d’Ivoire. The Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo have started to engage with the tool.
