UNDP would like to thank our partners for their support to the ELSA project: the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the Gordan and Betty Moore Foundation, Impact Obser- vatory, Microsoft, One Earth, and Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).
The Integrated Spatial Planning Workbook was devel- oped based on the inputs and lessons generated from the implementation of the Essential Life Support Areas (ELSA) methodology in 11 countries: Cambodia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Haiti, Kazakhstan, Peru, South Africa, and Uganda. The writing team would like to thank our UNDP colleagues, local and international consultants, UNDP Country Offices, governments, private sector, and civil society partners in each of these countries (see Annex 3 for more details).
