IWRM & Livelihoods in Rio Paz - Guatemala & El Salvador
This demonstration project aims to develop management and restoration measures for the conservation of livelihoods and key related ecosystems in the lower basin of Rio Paz, strengthening the environmental governance of the basin in the framework of the Rio Paz Participative Environmental Management Plan (PEMP).
Project Description:
The Rio Paz River basin suffers from degradation problems related to inadequate land use management practices and the lack of a coordinated management structure for the whole of the basin. The lower-basin communities that suffer the most serious problems, including reduced water quality and quantity, salinization of agricultural land, and vulnerability to climatic events, can maintain and improve their resource-dependent livelihoods through participative processes for management of the coastal wetlands they inhabit.
Project Partners:

Donors: AECID – finances Environmental Management Plan and acts as framework donor for transboundary environmental management initiatives of CCAD in Central America.
