Development Objective. Alternatives to illicit coca cultivation increased in targeted regions. A sustainable economic and social model free of illicit coca will be the main approach under the Agreement to provide alternatives to illicit coca cultivation in targeted regions. Under this model, households, communities and local institutions – financed primarily by national and local resources – will be able to provide for their members’ socioeconomic needs (including livelihoods, health, education, security, and other basic services) without damaging the environment or engaging in illegal activity. Adoption of this model implies a transformation so complete that a “tipping point” will have been reached, such that El Peruano / Domingo 26 de noviembre de 2017 NORMAS LEGALES individuals and communities are unlikely to return to illicit activities, while neighboring communities demand access to comparable AD programs. Many actors play a role in the success of this approach: the GOP at all levels, local economic agents (including individual farmers and their organizations), communities and civil society entities, and the private sector. Achieving this DO requires government, civil society leaders and average citizens to recognize the severe damage illicit crops and drug trafficking cause to security and quality of life, and to remain committed to ensuring that illicit activities do not resurface in recovered areas. It is expected that by the end of the Agreement, the value of licit activities in AD targeted areas will have increased substantially, both in absolute terms and relative to the value of coca production. In addition, among participant families, the percentage of households living under the poverty line will have substantially decreased, economic and social indicators will have improved, and the GOP will have strengthened its institutional capacity and resource commitment to replicate the program nationwide.
Development Objective. Management and quality of public services improved in the Amazon Basin. Governments are responsible for providing quality basic services and responding to the needs of citizens. DO-2 strives to ensure that Peruvians living in target regions enjoy the benefits of a strong national and local economy, including improved public service delivery and representation. To achieve this DO, El Peruano / Domingo 26 de noviembre de 2017 NORMAS LEGALES the Parties will work at both national and sub-national levels to strengthen state presence and improve the delivery of public services, including health and basic education that meet appropriate quality standards. This will be achieved by providing strategic technical support and by leveraging existing GOP resources. Among ADRs functions are the joint work with local actors and their liaison with sectoral entities working in the territories. Likewise, the Executive GOREs and MUNIs are showing themselves as effective tools to unlock public investment projects. Activities will also partner civil society organizations to promote citizen engagement in the decentralization process and oversight of the delivery of government services. The Agreement will strengthen relevant national and local entities to prevent, manage and mitigate conflicts, while reinforcing citizen capacity to engage in dialogue on conflictive situations. Reinforced control mechanisms and improved citizen access to public information will diminish corruption and will improve the perception of government performance. It is expected that, by the end of the Agreement, a more efficient and accountable government, particularly at the sub-national levels, will have increased public access to quality social services; contributed to a variety of social and economic development objectives; and become more responsive to citizen priorities and needs. A greater percentage of citizens will have access to quality health and basic education services and public investment in state services and infrastructure will increase. Citizens will have a greater say in local governments’ decisions, and these governments will be more transparent. Intermediate Result 2.1: Improved government capacity to provide quality public services. Decentralization is one of the most important state reforms pursued by the GOP; however, the decentralization process still has a long road ahead, which includes completing the definition of competencies for each level of government and improving the dis...
Development Objective. Natural resources sustainably managed in the Amazon Basin and glacier highlands. To implement DO-3, the GOP and USG will work to enhance capacity at national and sub- national levels to create and implement the policy frameworks and enabling conditions for low-emissions climate resilient development, including specific climate change mitigation and adaptation actions. Achieving this requires improving the use of evidence-based decision-making, securing sustainable financing for climate actions, and implementation of actual models that have been tested which can be scaled up. Because avoiding deforestation is one of the most important factors to conserving biodiversity and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Peru, the Parties must also strengthen forest governance to promote the sustainable management of this valuable resource. Similarly, because water availability in the context of climate change is considered a significant vulnerability for Peru’s sustainable development, the Parties will work to build institutional capacity and implement concrete actions to regulate water supplies in key basins and watersheds. The Parties will also work together to stem the rapid rate of biodiversity loss and carbon emissions in targeted areas by taking immediate actions to address critical drivers and threats, particularly alluvial gold mining and hydrocarbon development. This requires the implementation and enforcement of environmental laws and policies, enhancing the capacity of Peruvian public and private actors, including indigenous communities, to protect and manage their resources, and harnessing the capabilities of non-governmental entities, particularly the private sector and academia to develop and promote the use of sound environmental management practices and technologies. It is expected that by the end of the Agreement, the number of hectares properly managed in areas of biological significance will have substantially increased, and that the quantity of greenhouse gas emissions reduced or sequestered will have significantly increased as a result of the assistance provided under the Agreement. Intermediate Result 3.1: Capacity for environmental governance and natural resource management improved. Peru faces significant environmental governance and natural resource management challenges, such as illegal logging and mining, corruption, deforestation, contamination, illicit coca cultivation, and environmental impacts attributed to global climate change.
