ANNEX 9: Main outcomes of PDF-B

During the PDF-B phase of the project, studies were undertaken to identify the present situation of the different themes related to Paramo in which the project will intervene. The project executing agencies, in collaboration with local and national organizations and independent consultants analyzed the state of knowledge, the present offer and demand for policies, training, communication and investigation. An inventory and analysis was undertaken to productive activities with low impact. In all project intervention sites, participatory plans of action were designed by the executing agencies in collaboration with local NGOs. All these documents form the basis for the design of the full size project proposal and the activities to be executed during its life span.
