10 Community Payments for Ecosystem Services in Patako | Plan Vivo PDD 2012 councils of Keur Samba Guèye (KSG) and Keur Saloum Diané (KSD). Meetings were held with the Regional Council of Fatick, which is the umbrella structure for decentralized local governance bodies in the area. ISE has agreed with the National Forest Service to carry out forest research and implement a land management plan, after gaining approval from local communities (MOU signed in 2008). A management plan has been prepared and is awaiting approval. Arlomom project activities fall within current regulations and they are oriented towards community involvement in participatory forest management. The Arlomom project is aligned with the National plan on Adaptation that underlines the importance of forest activities for better livelihoods in vulnerable communities. 5.3. Project financial structure (sharing of benefits) PES funds are held in an escrow account administered by Arlomom. After Arlomom reviews and approves each monitoring report, funds will be released to participants. Arlomom makes payments to the bank accounts of women’s groups and directly to individuals. As part of the UNDESERT development funding for Arlomom Patako, €30 000 was budgeted for activities that generate ecosystem services. Of this amount, €5 000 has been used to develop two large tree nurseries, €600 will be used to pay nursery activity groups, and the rest will be used as PES payments for women’s groups and individual participants who have plan vivos (approximately €15500 and €8900 respectively).

11 Community Payments for Ecosystem Services in Patako | Plan Vivo PDD 2012 During the development of the project, the operational costs of Arlomom are included as part of the UNDESERT budget. The Plan Vivo qualification fees for the project are included in Bioclimate’s budget. Once the Arlomom project has become a registered Plan Vivo project, a minimum of 60% of the funds from the sale of Plan Vivo certificates will go to participants and it is hoped that this proportion will be significantly higher. An as yet unquantified proportion will be used for Arlomom operating expenses, for the salary of the community facilitator and the certificate issuance fee for the Plan Vivo Foundation, and any costs for marketing Plan Vivo certificates. Benefit sharing The women’s groups are experienced at fairly sharing the benefits from their group activities. Each women’s group will agree how they will share the benefits from activities, and the community facilitator will make a formal, written record of the agreement, which they will then sign. The shared benefits will include: PES payments, NTFPs, and firewood from pruning trees or collecting fallen deadwood. Women’s groups may distribute PES payments amongst the group members, make investments, or to develop livelihood activities. 6 Community and livelihood information 6.1.
