Integrated Watershed Management in Nicaragua
The Integrated Watershed Management project was a non-reimbursable investment grant aimed at addressing these critical climate and environmental issues. With support from the Global Environment Facility, the project supported sustainable land and forestry management practices, forest and biodiversity conservation, and local capacity building for land-use planning, soil conservation, and integrated watershed management. It also designed the first Public Payment Mechanism for Environmental Services for farmers and private owners of forested reserves to assure long-term sustainability in water use and micro-watershed management.
