Comm<strong>un</strong>ity Payments <strong>for</strong> Ecosystem Services in Patako | Plan Vivo PDD 2012<br />
During the development of the project, the operational costs of Arlomom are included as part of<br />
the UNDESERT budget. The Plan Vivo qualification fees <strong>for</strong> the project are included in Bioclimate’s<br />
budget.<br />
Once the Arlomom project has become a registered Plan Vivo project, a minimum of 60% of the<br />
f<strong>un</strong>ds from the sale of Plan Vivo certificates will go to participants and it is hoped that this<br />
proportion will be significantly higher. An as yet <strong>un</strong>quantified proportion will be used <strong>for</strong> Arlomom<br />
operating expenses, <strong>for</strong> the salary of the comm<strong>un</strong>ity facilitator and the certificate issuance fee <strong>for</strong><br />
the Plan Vivo Fo<strong>un</strong>dation, and any costs <strong>for</strong> marketing Plan Vivo certificates.<br />
Benefit sharing<br />
The women’s groups are experienced at fairly sharing the benefits from their group activities. Each<br />
women’s group will agree how they will share the benefits from activities, and the comm<strong>un</strong>ity<br />
facilitator will make a <strong>for</strong>mal, written record of the agreement, which they will then sign. The<br />
shared benefits will include: PES payments, NTFPs, and firewood from pr<strong>un</strong>ing <strong>trees</strong> or collecting<br />
fallen deadwood. Women’s groups may distribute PES payments amongst the group members,<br />
make investments, or to develop livelihood activities.<br />
6 Comm<strong>un</strong>ity and livelihood in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />
6.1. Target comm<strong>un</strong>ities<br />
The target comm<strong>un</strong>ities live in poverty, both income and resource poverty, and they depend on<br />
subsistence and modest income-‐generating crop and livestock farming <strong>for</strong> their survival.<br />
The comm<strong>un</strong>ities that will participate in the project activities are from four sites: Médina Ngayène,<br />
Keur Andalla Willane, Ndiaye Co<strong>un</strong>da (Niombato) and Diankou Bodian. These sites lie within 2 km<br />
of Patako Forest. Keur Andalla Willane, Ndiaye Co<strong>un</strong>da (Niombato) and Diankou Bodian fall within<br />
the Keur Saloum Diané (KSD) rural co<strong>un</strong>cil area. Médina Ngayène is in the Keur Samba Guéye<br />
(KSG) rural co<strong>un</strong>cil area.<br />
Description of cultural and socioeconomic context<br />
The rural comm<strong>un</strong>ities of Keur Saloum Diané and Keur Samba Gueye have a relatively rapid<br />
population growth (Table 3).<br />
