Socio-Economic Impacts of Protected Areas

Initiative I0041
[edit]

Implementing orgCARE International (Development organisation)

Summary
Socio-Economic Impacts of Protected Areas is a CARE International initiative that focuses on protected areas (PAs), using the current definition of PAs, which includes community conserved areas (CCAs). The first phase of the programme focuses on assessing the distribution of costs and benefits at local, national and global levels of a range of different types of protected areas. For the local level of the assessment the programme has developed a methodology that combines social impact assessment with economic analysis to ensure that the analysis reflects community perspectives and non financial costs and benefits.

Outputs
Studies are underway in four countries (Uganda, Kenya, Philippines and Thailand) involving 12 protected areas – 3 under traditional state management, 5 under collaborative management regimes of different types, and 4 community managed (i.e. CCAs).
