Summary
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. Content in this publication is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0), http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
