Brazil Rural Environmental Cadastre Technical Assistance Project

closed

The development objective has two related parts: first to gain the commitment of the majority of landholders in the project area to maintain or restore legally required forest cover; and, second, to evaluate the CAR methodology with a view to extracting lessons for dissemination to other states and municipalities in the Amazon region. There are three components to the project. The first component of the project is information and mobilization campaign and dissemination of lessons learned. This component aims at fostering the implementation of the project through the involvement of the stakeholders benefited by the interventions in the target municipalities, which includes the landholders, their associations and the municipal governments; and documenting and disseminating lessons learned for application in other municipalities of the Brazilian Amazon. The second component of the project is mapping and geo-referencing of rural holdings and inclusion in CAR databases. This component aims at obtaining up-to-date environmental cadastral data containing information about owners (names, addresses, etc.) and their properties. The third component of the project is project management and administration. This component aims at ensuring adequate and continuous implementation, through: 1) technical implementation, monitoring and reporting; 2) appropriate financial management, procurement, audit; and, 3) project financial and technical closing activities.
