Box 14. Bolsa Verde
Bolsa Verde is a Brazilian national programme within the purview of the Brasil Sem Miséria plan for the eradication of poverty. The programme distributes additional funds to families living in extreme poverty who commit to promoting environmental conservation in the areas where they live and work. The programme includes quarterly direct payments and environmental capacity-building in forest management. In its initial stages, Bolsa Verde aims to benefit nearly 73,000 small-farm families and other traditional communities living in conservation units and land-reform settlements that contain important forest resources.
