Participatory Land Use Planning<br />
(PLUP) Implementation Budget<br />
In order for research and development projects<br />
to go beyond pilot exercises and engage<br />
in the full implementation of PLUP, a clear<br />
budget showing the costs of materials, equipment<br />
and human resources is required. Costs<br />
per village usually decrease when the equipment<br />
is used over large areas and as the expertise<br />
of the implementation team improves.<br />
The cost estimates presented in this document<br />
are those gained from our PLUP implementation<br />
experience in Viengkham District<br />
in Luang Prabang Province in 2010-2011.<br />
The costs are separated into the three categories<br />
described below:<br />
• Materials and consumables,<br />
• Per diems for district staff and<br />
participants.<br />
• Equipment (can be used for more<br />
than one village).<br />
Field expenses may be lower in some cases<br />
depending on the per diem policy of each pro<br />
project and on the specifics of each village<br />
(size, number of neighbouring villages, availability<br />
of electricity, etc).<br />
