    Costa Rica

    Costa Rica's Program of Payments
    for Environmental Services (Pago de Servicios Ambientales,
    PSA) provides a unique opportunity to evaluate direct

    evidence on how much more forest has been conserved in Costa
    Rica as a result of PSA contracts with landowners. Such
    evidence requires estimating a counterfactual outcome: how
    much forest would have been preserved if there had been no

The LSP Sub-programme on access to natural resources initially intended to begin its work in support of the FOWECA project with a regional desk study. However, with Forest - poverty linkages in West and Central Asia 2 sparse literature available, a decision was made to focus the initial work on Kyrgyzstan given the experience of the Collaborative Forest Management (LSP Working Paper 13).

    La sécurité de la tenure est une condition essentielle à la gestion durable des forêts. La diversification des systèmes de tenure pourrait servir de base à l’amélioration de l’aménagement forestier et des moyens d’existence locaux, en particulier là où l’Etat ne dispose pas des moyens suffisants pour gérer les forêts. Au cours de la dernière décennie, de nombreux pays ont entamé des efforts de réforme de leurs systèmes de tenure forestière, en déléguant certains droits d’accès et de gestion aux ménages, aux sociétés privées et aux communautés.
