La presente sistematización se refiere a las experiencias de el Programa de Pequeñas Donaciones (PPD) del Fondo para el Medio Ambiente Mundial. El trabajo se ha centrado en la identificación de los factores que potencian u obstaculizan cambios sostenibles en los procesos desencadenados por los proyectos PPD para lo cual analizamos al proceso de intervención, a los protagonistas y sus perspectivas, y los resultados e impactos obtenidos; al final presentamos algunas lecciones que consideramos necesarias para el ejercicio de la sostenibilidad.
The Guide to Participatory Tools for Forest Communities hopes to provide people who work with forest communities with new options as they advance objectives of sustainable forest management and empowerment of forest dependent communities. This guide is directed toward environment and development practitioners, researchers, and local government leaders. It provides information on several tools in order to help readers grasp the tools basic capabilities, identify the most appropriate tool for their needs and find resources for additional information. The guide does not provide an exhaustive...
The field guide begins with a brief discussion about communities that depend on natural resources, thinking about the future and why it is important for communities to think ahead. Next, four methods for thinking about the future are introduced, describing hypothetical situations where each might be applied. This document provides a comparative matrix to make it easier to decide between methods in a given context. Then, concepts such as participation, mental maps, uncertainty and complexity are discussed.In the second section “Getting Ready”, is explained how to plan for an exercise in...
Este Informe corresponde a la evaluación del Proyecto MANRECUR II, denominado “Manejo colaborativo y Uso Apropiado de Recursos Naturales en la Ecoregión del Rio El Ángel, Carchi” contiene la caracterización del proyecto, el análisis de los procesos y resultados que el proyecto ha atravesado y generado y un análisis de los impactos sociales que el proyecto ha causado.
For hundreds of millions of people, biodiversity is about eating, staying healthy, and finding shelter. Meeting these people’s basic needs should receive greater priority in the conservation agenda.Wild and semi-wild plants and animals contribute significantly to nutrition, health care, income, and culture in developing countries, and the poorest and most vulnerable people often rely on those resources most. Depleting those resources or making them inaccessible can impoverish these people even further. ‘Pro-poor conservation’—that is, conservation that aims to support poor people—...

This paper demonstrates a robust method for achieving disaggregation in the estimation of flexible-form farm-level multi-input production functions using minimally specified data sets. Since the ultimate goal is to address important questions related to the distributional effects of policy changes, the emphasis is placed on the ability of the model to reproduce the characteristics of the existing production system and to predict the outcomes of these changes at a high level of disaggregation. Achieving this requires the use of farm-level models that are estimated across a wide spectrum of...
