Component 4: Public Participation
This component will foster and support the
participation of all stakeholders, including the general public, in the
development and implementation of the activities carried out under the
SJRB project, and complement the activities proposed under Component 3
(above). Success is dependent on identifying and motivating stakeholders
and giving them an opportunity to participate, including, where necessary,
through financial contributions. National and binational workshops will be
organized to give stakeholders the opportunity to become involved, to
engage their commitment and facilitate SAP implementation. The project
team will strive to assure gender balance in these activities. To
establish a broad base of participation and learn the capacity of
organizations to carry out actions, the four demonstration projects in
various natural areas within the SJRB are envisioned. These activities are
to be more broadly-based and inclusive of the general public and
public-at-large than those to be conducted under Component 3 (above), and
will contribute to inclusion of public inputs beyond those considered from
an economic perspective.
The execution of these activities will be undertaken
by the relevant national institutions and organizations such as MARENA,
and MINAE, municipal organizations such as ASCOMAFOR and NGOs such as
Fundación del Rio. 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.
