In order to meet multi-dimensional objectives - overcoming poverty, reducing land degradation, promoting sustainable development -, such as those intended by the project or by similar initiatives, it is essential that actions focus the production chain, that is, the chain from building productive innovations to the flow of production. The study conducted in a micro-watershed is an important input for both the debate and the making of policies on paying family farmers for environmental services in the semi-arid northeastern Brazil. Therefore, it is important to analyze and discuss the results generated by the study with the sectors concerned with this issue (watershed committees, social organizations, municipal, state and federal governments, and institutions involved with the carbon market, among others). However, many challenges still need to be overcome. This is an arrangement that lacks a legal framework, financing, institutional support from mediators (government agencies, watershed committees, etc.), among others. 9.2 Briefly describe the recommendations given in the terminal evaluation.
