概要

The report was produced by Emily Fripp, an economist at Efeca, as part of the CoLUPSIA project. The overall objective of the CoLUPSIA project is to avert deforestation and environmental degradation. The project purpose is to establish collaborative and equitable land-use planning and natural resource management through the design and testing of new institutional arrangements, environmental policies and pro-poor financing instruments with the aim of achieving more secure land tenure and commodity rights. This PES guide, A practical guide to assess the feasibility of PES projects, was developed as part of Expected Result 4: Specific pilot activities supporting propoor financing mechanisms for forest conservation and sustainable management evaluated and begun. This guide seeks to support practical assessments of the potential for PES in CoLUPSIA project sites, identifying the feasibility and the next steps necessary for the effective development of PES. Two district papers assessing the feasibility of PES were produced based on this guide.
