Synopsis (short abstract) 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.
