Abstract

Financial incentives clearly have a role to play in sustainable development strategies. However, incentives alone will not work –a favorable enabling environment and institutional arrangements are also required to enhance good governance. Decision-makers need to strengthen the capacity of local institutions, establish clear land tenure, extend community control over land management, and introduce flexible payment schemes.
