Benefit sharing mechanism and alternative livelihoods

The MIMP revenues from tourism and other activities are used to support the villagers in many different ways, such as:

  • Pay school fees.
  • Build village level infrastructure.
  • Organise learning exchanges, site visits.
  • Alternative livelihoods development, such as beekeeping, seaweed farming, dhow construction.

There is a clear cut of 20% net revenue that is allocated to the VLCs council for supporting actions in each village.

  • Transparency and accountability.
  • Trust.
  • Collaborative planning and management: communities can choose the infrastructures they need.

 

  • The more transparent we are, the more we provide benefits to the communities, the more they engage in conservation activities.
