  2. A Simultaneous Phenomenon • Initiatives in various parts of the world • LA countries have implemented more management effectiveness models over time • Models have emerged at different times, with different motivations and in different places • The felt need and absence of a standard model led to creativity and innovation

  3. A variety of models • De Faria (1993) • TNC (PiP Scorecard) • PROARCA/CAPAS (1997) • WWF/CATIE (1998) • WWF/Peru, Brazil (1998) • Enhancing our Heritage (2000)

  4. In a variety of countries • Mesoamerica (Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Belize) • South America (Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, the Guianas) • Caribbean (Dominican Republic, Cuba)

  5. Similarities: Intended to assess management Based on indicators Cover a wide variety of management aspects Differences: Level of stakeholders participation Scale (site, system) Presence/absence of a long-term goal Who does the assessment Review of the models

  6. Key Influences • The IV World Parks Congress recommendation to evaluate and improve the management of protected areas • Significant push for accountability and transparency in LA governments from international lenders and NGOs (Total Quality Management, Performance Review) • The need for enhancing reporting, resource allocation, advocacy and PA management adaptability

  7. The Present • The implementation of some models has survived the test of time…so far • Some of the models have evolved (from site to system, new indicators) • The use of assessment results needs more work • Introduction of ME in some countries is still pending • In country implementation across sites is not consistent • Training opportunities are becoming limited • Extension of EoH (2004?)
