Learning objective

Climate smart agroforestry systems: This evaluation evaluates the impact of “environmental conditional cash transfer plus programme” (E-CCT+) on climate resilience of poor households and forest cover in eastern Paraguay. Agricultural expansion and fuelwood harvesting are the major contributors to deforestation. Land use change has also resulted in major losses of unique and valuable biodiversity from the Atlantic Forest. Despite increasing public attention and effort to decrease deforestation and improve water resources management in recent years, progress has been slow. This project PROEZA, implemented by Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), combines cash transfers with productive assets, agroforestry inputs and technical training and extension services to enhance the livelihoods and productive capacities of poor and vulnerable households while protecting the environment. The evaluation will provide insight into the effectiveness of such programme on increasing climate resilience of vulnerable communities as well as the forest cover.
