Baseline Study for the proposed Conservation and Rural Enterprise (CARE) Project in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Budongo Central Forest Reserve
REFNo: SS1703ES
The key objectives of the baseline survey include:
a) Identifying and tracking indicators that enable the assessment of a potential relationship between:
? The proposed interventions of the CARE project, namely the development and launch of a luxury eco lodge and establishment of supporting small to medium enterprises in the Bwindi and Budongo areas and;
? The status of social and economic wellbeing and environmental conservation in this region.
b) Tracking changes to social and economic wellbeing over the 18-month grant period.
c) Tracking the CARE project’s interventions in economic opportunities, such as the creation of small to medium enterprises, trainings offered, employees hired, wages and income earned.
d) Tracking the CARE project’s interventions in environmental sustainability and conservation, such as alternative fuel provision, replantings, environmental education and conservation training courses, and wildlife corridor development.
e) Comparing economic and environmental interventions to changes in social and economic wellbeing, as well as changes in the region’s environment.
f) Collecting baseline data on the identified indicators through surveys and earth observation imagery. This indicator data will be able to be collected again at the culmination of the research collaborative analysis period in 18 months, and indicators should be capable of being tracked again, in the future, in the possible eventuality of a longer-term research project.
g) Using the indicator data to develop a generalizable toolkit for the joint improvement of social and economic wellbeing and environmental conservation, which can be adapted to other rural contexts.
