RNRRS legacy

Research reports for "Costa Rica"

  • Firm foundations for future development
    Various linked projects have been working to provide firm foundations for livelihood-improving efforts to manage forests and land in upper water catchments. Known as the FRP-FLOWS studies, the projects are providing in-country government departments in Grenada, South Africa, Tanzania, Costa Rica and India with much-needed facts and policy-guiding information. They've also been demonstrating that hydrological models like HYLUC, SWAT and ACRU really do work. Outputs from the projects include workshops for ministers and policy briefs that give decision makers key insights into payment for environmental services schemes. The projects have also developed a new dissemination tool known as EXCLAIM, as well as the so called 'Rapid Quadrant' approach - which is helping in the design of new interventions in 100 watersheds in support of two $200-million World Bank-funded watershed development projects.
