    Ecuador

     
    * María José Rodríguez
    Apocalíptica pero real se ha tornado la lucha por el agua, entre el Estado, los pueblos indígenas, las empresas y otros actores que entran y salen de la escena. Una lucha que tiene como antecedente la larga tensión existente hasta hoy entre gobiernos y población sobre el uso y explotación de los recursos naturales. Y que hoy muestra que el fondo no son los recursos naturales sino los derechos sobre ellos y sobre otros aspectos que encierra el concepto de Estado Plurinacional que, al parecer, por lo menos en Ecuador, deja aún mucha tela para cortar.

    Policy Papers & Briefs
    December, 2013
    Tanzania

    In northern Tanzania, new grassroots groups called Women’s Rights and Leadership Forums (WRLFs) are mobilizing women and men in pastoralist communities to promote and defend local land rights. This briefing highlights some of the WRLFs’ achievements and strategies; asks how these forums, which appear to be a part of an emerging grassroots social movement for land rights, can be further supported; and explores whether such forums could be replicated elsewhere in the region

    Tanzania

    Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) have the potential to benefit both people and wildlife in Tanzania. But are Tanzanian communities earning enough from WMAs to want to protect the wildlife that live on their land? This policy brief addresses this question by examining two WMAs in the Tarangire ecosystem and looking at their performance and revenue streams. This reveals that while communities are earning some income, the WMAs do not yet have enough funds to cover management and wildlife protection costs.

    Madagascar, Tanzania, Nicaragua, Philippines

    This case study focuses on the capacity of local communities to monitor biodiversity and resources in Madagascar, Nicaragua, Philippines and Tanzania. It makes a controlled comparison between local community monitoring and trained scientists’ monitoring and conclude that local and indigenous communities generate similar and equally good outputs as the trained scientists, and are much more cost efficient. The cases suggest that it is fully possible to build a cheap and effective MRV system based on community monitoring of Non-Carbon Benefits
