Ex post-evaluation brief : Dominican Republic : Conservation of Natural Resources, Alto Río Yaque del Norte

Abstract

This joint project aimed to promote the conservation of natural resources within the catchment area of the Río Yaque del Norte and to improve the living conditions of the local people, with natural resource conservation being the priority. The project was implemented in two phases: the first phase primarily consisted of investments in afforestation, forestry management, agricultural diversification and micro-projects; the second phase, which focused on the adjoining protected areas, financed improvements in infrastructure and facilities as well as management plans for these protected areas.
