Abstract:
TULSEA (Trees in multi-Use Landscapes in Southeast Asia) is a regional project that has been carried out in five Southeast Asian countries and Yunnan province of China since 2008. The project aims at developing a toolbox that is replicable, rapid and cost effective for providing evidences to support the negotiation for enhancing natural resource management. The TUL-SEA project has four Work Packages (WP): Improving the integrated toolbox from existing generic tools and methods (WP1), Capacity building (National agricultural research systems and universities) through training and workshops (WP2), Local partners site-testing tools in a wide range of situations, and providing feedback (WP3), and Synthesis (WP4). TULSEA in Vietnam has been implemented by local stakeholders, research institutes and universities in northern and central parts of the country, under the coordination by ICRAF Vietnam. The five tools Participatory Landscape Appraisal (PaLA), Participatory analysis of Poverty, Livelihoods and Environment Dynamics (PaPOLD), Rapid Carbon Stock Assessment (RaCSA), Rapid Hydrological Appraisal (RHA), and Reverse Auction for Environmental Services (RA) that are potentially applicable and important for Vietnam contexts were selected for training, testing, assessing their applicability, customizing them to be more suitable to Vietnam contexts, and disseminating them to local natural resource management organizations for broader application of these tools. Project outputs include results from training and testing of selected tools by local partners and publications such as books, lecture notes, posters, and reports. In addition, implications from testing these tools are useful for developing potential PES schemes. Most training activities and publications were carried out and produced in two languages, Vietnamese and English.
Within the frame of TULSEA project, ICRAF Vietnam contributed with the developing of two tools, namely PaLA and PaPOLD. Case studies from Vietnam on these tools have been shared with other SEA countries involved in TULSEA project through TULSEA regional training in the Philippines and Indonesia in 2009 and 2910, respectively.
