The program's general objective is to spur processes that can achieve sustainable rural development, by strengthening natural-resources management in central government agencies and at the local level. The aim is to help reduce poverty and leave critical rural areas in the selected watersheds less physically, economically, and environmentally vulnerable and thereby improve communities' quality of life and their prospects for sustainable development.Specific objectives are to: (i) develop and implement efficient and effective management instruments to make for sustainable natural-resources use, including institutional and strategic capacity building in key areas of central government and decentralized institutions, and (ii) support investment initiatives in sustainable natural-resources management and vulnerability management in selected subbasins. The investment projects would be the fruit of participatory processes, to address regional, municipal, and community needs and particularly the needs of small rural producers.
