Abstract:
RUPES-I had been successful in effectively advocating for the concept of pro-poor rewards for environmental services and have significant achievements in pilot schemes involving rewards on a localised basis for watershed-related environmental services. It developed tools for the rapid assessment of the links between land use and environmental values, supported the development of national Technical Committees (TECs) in Indonesia, Philippines and Sri Lanka as advocates for policy change, and not limitedly, generated a significant volume of high quality publications, organising workshops and other events. The IFAD evaluation of RUPES-I recommended a phase 2 (RUPES-II) that would build on Phase 1 successes, consolidate its gains, and reach out to additional partners for widespread adoption. RUPES-II will seek to meet its goal through five interrelated outcomes: national policy framework; international and national buyer and investor engagement; environmental services intermediaries enabled; innovation in effective, efficient and pro-poor RES mechanisms; mainstream RES into rural development initiatives. RUPES-II will continue the work of RUPES-I in researching and developing new approaches to RES and widen its partnership across Asia.
