Conservation and sustainable use of mountain ecosystems mountain ecosystems

The program will provide technical advice to strengthen the skills and capacities of key stakeholders in the areas of nature conservation, water resource management and sustainable agriculture by developing and implementing strategies to maintain and restore Andean mountain ecosystem services. The program's capacity building strategy focuses on three levels: At the societal level, governance structures are reinforced to strengthen cooperation and coordination of the interests of the main stakeholders in territorial planning. At the organizational level, the MAAE will strengthen its role in coordinating biodiversity conservation and climate change. Local production communities will also be strengthened organizationally within the framework of the selected value chains. At the personal level, professionals and managers of the MAAE, MAG and GADs, as well as selected NGOs and production communities, will be supported to achieve green recovery and promote the sustainable use of high mountain ecosystems.
