Overarching Design Principles
•Common design approach in 3 pilot areas
•Locally adapted, practical and results focused
•Balance incentivising higher quality output
and overall scheme complexity
•Facilitate flexible and adaptive management
on farm
•Build local trust and capacity
•Enable co-creation and innovation
• Accounts for factors outside the farmers
control

Lessons Learned
•Common design approach across diverse agricultural landscapes
possible.
•Time and expertise required to develop the scoring systems to:
a) account for variations in environmental conditions outside
control of the farmer
b) ensure indicators reflect achievement of the biodiversity target
(potential for wider ecosystem services targets-EIPS)
c) ensure locally adapted, practical and results focused
•Guidance and training are key
•Integrated local farm advisory systems
•Implementation and control can be simpler but capacity and resources
needed for effective design
![Page 21: Keeping it Simple! - EFNCP€¦ · Ireland’s approach to payments by results James Moran james.moran@gmit.ie ELMS Workshop, ... • 3.5 year project . Overarching Design Principles](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050118/5f4f17c37f866842417688ce/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
•Policy framework-a clear focus on incentivising
performance
•Clear objectives and targeting essential
•Co-operation, knowledge-sharing, capacity and trust
building
•Long term commitments to sustain newly created
market for ecosystem services
•Ensure implementation, financial management and
monitoring regs facilitate RBAPS approach
•Initial investment in design will reap dividends (e.g.
defining and testing indicators, of training staff,
farmers, advisers and inspectors, communications etc.)
