The Quito water fund in Ecuador (FONAG) is a sustainable finance mechanism that allows for long-term protection of natural ecosystems and the provision of important ecosystem services. Water users pay into the funds in exchange for the fresh clean water that they receive. The fund in turn pays for forest conservation along rivers, streams and lakes and also funds community-wide reforestation projects to ensure the flow of safe drinking water.
Founded in 2000
