forest resources of the selected sites:

  • The extent to which the proposed activity can show replicability or demonstration for similar activities elsewhere in the Fund’s target areas or the Eastern Arc Mountains, in general:
  • Demonstrable positive impact on the conservation of the Eastern Arc forests (e.9. by reducing degradation and resource demands on those forests
  • Demonstration on mapping of other relevant previous and ongoing activities in the area and the synergies or cooperation;
  •  Social soundness (e.9. representation. degree of community involvement in activity identification development and Implementation
  • Environmental soundness, especially with regard the 14 the protection of biological diversity and overall impacts on the protected areas and other essential resources;
  •  The extent to which the protection of the environment and natural resources will contribute to the reduction of poverty or to income generating possibilities;
  • The extent to which the proposed activity can contribute to mitigation and/or adaptation of impacts of climate change:
  • The extent the which the proposed activity can contribute the behavior change of the project beneficiaries towards reduction of degradation in the target arrest site

  • The extent to which the proposed activity addresses market challenges foe the income generating activities:
  • The extent to which the proposed activities promote enterprises development
  •  The extent to which the proposed activity would increase communities’ income and improve well-being participation in live hood activities.
  • The extent to which the proposed activities promote participation of women in conservation of the East Arc Mountain

(a) Community Development and Conservation projects (CD) will be further guided by the

following criteria:

  • The degree to which the project ‘will provide for and/or will lead to community:

management of the local forest resources;

  • The importance of the area’s conservation value to price protect on forests;
  • The degree to which the project will address market access, market potential and market constraints for income-generating activities:
  • The degree of sustainability and Viability of the proposed activity as measured by such indicators as:

i. Adequacy of management:

ii.Operational feasibility:

iii. Market potential:

iv. Financial soundness;

v Level of local contribution and commitment:

vi. Level of priority within the community: H

vii Other factors affecting feasibility.
