Ecoregional Trust Fund
A fund to support methodological initiatives by Centres and by NARS. The fund is administered by ISNAR following explicit guidelines for submitting proposals. As of 1998 five projects were funded: regional scaling of field-level economic-biophysical models (CIP); integrating remote sensing, GIS and dynamic models (MLUM) for the Andes (CONDESAN/CIP); network to develop systems methodology for ecoregional land-use planning in tropical Asia (IRRI); resource use optimization at village and district level in the desert margins of West Africa (ICRISAT); and methodologies for integrating data across geographic scales in a data-rich environment for the sustainable development of the lowland savannahs in Latin America (CIAT).
