Proposal
Problem & Objective
The global benefits of conserving
key ecosystems are often not realized due to market failures.
There is strong interest in harnessing market mechanisms to better
match the demand for environmental services with the incentives
of land users whose actions affect the supply of these services.
This research seeks to test whether environmental service reward
mechanisms may provide marginalized groups with new opportunities
for generating income, obtaining more secure rights to land and
water, and being included in environmental governance processes.
In particular, the researchers want to see how these rewards can
be brought to poorer households.
Research Context
The research will undertake a qualitative
investigation of the determinants of reward for environmental services
(RES) program placements. It will also attempt to determine who
gains and who loses in the implementation of these programs, and
look at what institutional innovations and arrangement would facilitate
greater participation among the poor, and greater benefits for them.
Policy Implications
The lessons learned in the research
will help inform the design of new RES programs, as well as suggest
modifications that could improve upon existing ones. It will also
help determine ways in which these programs could reach a more diverse
group of participants, maximizing benefits for the rural poor.
