4. Project Design Document

• IFAD/ICRAF Final Design Document: Program for Developing Mechanisms to Reward the Asian Upland Poor for the Environmental Services They Provide

The RUPES Project recognises that capacity building in this area must be greatly enlarged in order to facilitate a higher proportion of projects and programs designed to tap global transfer payment flows to meet the interests of the most disadvantaged populations in the uplands.

The SII/ICRAF project 'Teaching advances in agroforestry research and development' is supporting RUPES and its capacity building activities. 

Topics included in the training workshop were  reward mechanisms and institutional/policy arrangements, environmental services and the needs and characteristics of the providers and buyers of the environmental services. 

The training workshop was a  combination of theoretical knowledge on the basic principles of rewarding upland poor for environmental services they provide interweaved with case studies relating experiences and the extent to which rewards or payments for environmental services did or did not reach and benefit the poor. 

All materials related to the workshop including the training workshop modules were compiled in this  CD.
