Second Rural Poverty, Natural Resources Management and Consolidation of the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor Project

The global objective of the proposed project supports the efforts of the Government of Panama to integrate environmental and social sustainability into development and poverty reduction strategies in the Pacific and Atlantic municipalities. It will do so through the following objectives: (a) enable decentralization of environmental management by strengthening local governments; (b) strengthen and train local government authorities in environmental management; and (c) support poor communities to adopt biodiversity friendly income generating activities.
