Sustainable land, water and biodiversity conservation and management for improved livelihoods in Uttarakhand watershed sector [1]

This project paper seeks the approval of the Executive Directors to provide an additional Grant financing from the Global Environment Facility in the amount of US$7.49 million for the India Uttarakhand Decentralized Watershed Development Project
(UDWDP) ID PO78550 which in turn draws on the positive experiences from the Integrated Watershed Development Hills-I1 project that was completed in 2005. The proposed additional financing aims at scaling-up and mainstreaming the outcome of the activities under UDWDP and enhancing their sustainability by restoring and sustaining ecosystem functions and biodiversity while simultaneously enhancing income and livelihood functions. The lessons learned from these activities will be scaled up and mainstreamed at state and national levels.
