| Description | The GEF MSP would support implementation of activities designed to address global environmental objectives, particularly those related to carbon sequestration. Specifically, the proposed GEF MSP would support targeted research to: (a) explore carbon sequestration impacts associated with improved land management practices in several production systems associated with the milpa; and (b) determine the social variables that possibly influence the process of adoption of practices to both increase soil carbon content and improve productivity of farmer resources. |
| Implementation Status | The project is in its final stages and a Bank mission is currently in the field, working with the grant recipient, on structuring the MSP completion report. As a result of the generally, highly satisfactory performance, the government of the state of Oaxaca (where the project is being implemented) has committed Mexican pesos 5 million (approx. US $600,000) in order for the project to continue and expand to new areas. The project closes on June 30, 2005. |
