Incentive Systems for Natural Resources Management: Role of Indirect Incentives, FAO Investment Centre-IFAD, 1999

No results found.FAO Investment Centre environmental reports are directed to environment and natural resources specialists. They address environmental issues associated with the formulation of investment projects for the agricultural/rural sector.This report reviews the role of indirect incentives in relation to incentive systems that promote participation in resource conservation to reduce male and youth migration from rural communities. Beyond short- and medium-term incentives, there is a need for longer-term incentives that relate to security of access to and control of resources. The study examines indirect incentives which comprise those influences on producers’ decisions that are not concerned with directly bringing about changes in the management of natural resources through financial or similar inducements (direct incentives). The study also addresses the variability of incentive systems used by different developers and the need for greater harmonization in approach. -

No results found.FAO Investment Centre environmental reports are directed to environment and natural resources specialists. They address environmental issues associated with the formulation of investment projects for the agricultural/rural sector. This report describes an environmental assessment that contributed to improvements in the project design for the Aberdares Natural Resources Development Project in Kenya. The objective of this six-year project was to conserve and develop the natural resources of the Ab erdares region based on an integrated management approach involving local communities. Project preparation was done by the FAO Investment Centre in 1995 and appraisal took place in 1997 in parallel with the preparation of the environmental assessment by a multi-disciplinary team led by Centre staff. The major project investment consisted of the construction of some 360-km of fencing that would encircle the entire Aberdares park perimeter with the aim of reducing human-wildlife conflicts. The tea m examined three project scenarios: without project, with project and modified project. One of the key conclusions of the team was that as proposed the fence was not viable; a conclusion based on both economic and environmental considerations. Rather, replacing the fence with a mixed barrier and non-barrier system (e.g. game moats and topographic barriers) would improve the project. In addition, the mission recommended the completion of a comprehensive management plan prior to initiating any inv estment activities. The recommendations were accepted by the African Development Bank and the Government of Kenya and contributed to significant improvements in project design.
