| Abstract: |
| Developed countries have already established a number of mechanisms to implement
environmental transfers either within their own country, or towards other countries,
including developing nations. The present review looks at a number such of mechanisms
with a common matrix of analysis and tries to draw lessons for the design of RUPES
mechanisms in Asia. All these mechanisms have been designed to provide reward to
farmers for environmental services, and we put the priority on the ones which were
clearly targeting upland farmers. Not all these schemes had poverty alleviation as their
objective, but many did have a clear social orientation, and in all cases we tried to look at whether these schemes could be targeted to reach poor upland communities. |
