Objectives

To enhance the institutional capacity to manage water and forest resources in a sustainable and participatory way. Overall, the project
will help to reduce the incidence and severity of water shocks in river catchments, and improve the livelihoods of communities
participating in the co-management of water and forests.

Specific Outputs

Achievements under the project will be measured by three indicators that will assess the implementing entities’ success in achieving their
institutional mandates:

       Sediment load in rivers in project intervention areas;
       Forest areas under approved forest management plans; and
       Number of community level interventions rated satisfactory or higher by the participants.
