This document provides a comprehensive review of the tools available to guide preparation and decision making, both prior to and during the implementation process. It also addresses the need for additional tools and analytic approaches. Examples of reviewed tools include: Restoration Diagnostic, a tool for developing national or regional strategies for successful FLR, based on the status of success factors important to motivate, enable and implement restoration interventions; and Restoration Opportunities Assessment Methodology (ROAM), which guides national or sub-national stakeholder groups through a process to become engaged in stock-taking, mapping, analysis of costs and benefits of restoration activities, and assessment of financing and investment options.
