Component 3: Strategic Actions With Stakeholder Involvement
 Strategic
planning and management will depend on integrating basic research with a
series of activities and investment projects carried out within the
identified geographic and subject areas to be targeted for development.
Historically, such projects have lacked effective stakeholder involvement
as a result of the institutional and human resource issues identified
above. As an integral part of the process of formulating the SAP for the
SJRB, a series of demonstration activities illustrative of ways and means
for promoting sustainable agriculture production and the conservation
restoration of land and water ecosystems will be conducted, providing both
an assessment of cost and feasibility, and specific examples to local
communities of alternative means of production and land and water resource
management. Economic mechanisms contributing to the sustainable management
of natural resources and to meeting the demand of the inhabitants for
improved living conditions, and to solve the conflicts that can arise over
plans and decisions affecting resource use will be specifically identified
and developed. This component will facilitate interaction between the
GEF-funded activities and those of on-going development projects.
The execution of these activities will be undertaken
by the relevant national institutions and organizations such as MARENA,
MINAE, SINAC, municipal organizations and NGOs such as Productores Unidos
para el Desarollo. The coordination and supervision will be ensured by the
Technical Units at MINAE and MARENA. Specific detailed Terms of Reference
will be prepared by the Technical Coordinators in close consultation with
UNEP and GS/OAS, during the first quarter of the project period.
