Resumen
Descripción
The Payments for Ecosystem Services to Support Forest Conservation and Sustainable Livelihoods project, supported by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), sought to promote biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation in the Miombo forest ecosystem. It aimed to strengthen the existing revenue sharing mechanism (RSM) that supports the sustainable use and conservation of forests and wildlife, and improves local livelihoods in the Zambezia Province of Mozambique. Overall, the results achieved can lead to progress in enabling the environment, changing legal and regulatory frameworks, having communities adopt more sustainable practices and contributing to the preservation of biodiversity – especially in reducing deforestation.Key recommendations involve: flagging the most promising communities for national authorities as potential grant applicants under the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (REDD+) programmes; preparing an exit plan for the four districts that benefit from the project to ensure minimum technical follow-up in the supported communities; and systematizing the approach, experience and good results achieved with the practices of the beekeeping and savings and credit groups to reinforce the project’s learning dimension.
