Abstract:Using survey data from Inner Mongolia, this paper explores the role of stakeholder engagement in the implementation of the Sloping Land Conversion Programme (SLCP), a payments for environmental services programme designed to restore forest in degraded land. Based on the idea that volunteerism and satisfaction with the programme's outcome are two important components of the programme's viability, we successively analyse the intensity of households' participation in the programme and their reported satisfaction with its economic achievement, which we relate to their stated volunteerism. We show that households' participation intensity in the SLCP is primarily driven by land and location characteristics, and that these findings hold true whether or not the households voluntarily enrolled in the programme. Moreover, as far as participants' satisfaction can be interpreted as an indicator of potential long-term support for the programme, our findings also support plausible sustainability for the programme.

“…Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, a majority of rural land was reallocated by village leaders using administrative methods, although the frequency of land reallocations varied between villages (Brandt et al 2002;Krusekopf 2002). According to surveys conducted in the 1990s, by 1996, two-thirds of Chinese villages had reallocated land using administrative methods, often in the middle of land contract terms (Brandt et al 2002).…”
