5,088 people with increased economic benefits derived from sustainable natural resource management and conservation
Increased economic benefits are increases in economic earnings or consumption due to sustainable management or conservation of natural resources.

749 people received training in environmental law, enforcement, public participation, and cleaner production policies, strategies, skills, and techniques

Efforts to offer training in environmental law and policy to promote a sustainable environment, clean energy technologies strategic planning, and environmental enforcement. These training activities help improve the likelihood that development partners will continue to implement relevant projects long after assistance has ended.
45 people trained in natural resources management and/or biodiversity conservation
Natural resources and biodiversity conservation includes managing natural resources in ways that maintain their long-term viability and preserve their potential to meet the needs of present and future generations. Training includes sessions in which participants are educated according to a defined curriculum and set learning objectives in resource management and conservation.
