Overview
Since the first Protected Area (PA) established in Peru, one of the main challenges has been managing the PA´s under different socio-cultural contexts. Considering this, the PA authority in Peru (SERNANP) developed shared management mechanisms with diverse kind of stakeholders, such as Management Contracts and Special Regime Management Contracts.

Management Contracts in Protected Areas
This mechanism initiated in The contracts had been made with non-profit organizations that assume the responsibility for achieving one or more results, important to accomplish goals of a PA. The contract can involve any area of the PA. Funding mechanisms are responsibility of the Executor of the management contract. Currently, the Peru’s Protected Area System has 8 areas with management contracts

Special Regime of management contracts

This particular form of contract allows the co-management between native communities and the National Protected Area Service (SERNANP). This co-management form take place under Special Regime, where the native communities are represented by organizations named ECAs (spanish acronym meaning “Executor of a management contract”).
Currently, the Peru’s Protected Area System has 9 areas under the Special Regime of management contracts.

Many years of negotiation for a special regime of communal reserves. (under review)
Authority Level

SERNANP high staff turnover.
Requires to establish an implementation phase (1 year) where the Executor and the Chief of ANP learn how to manage together the PA.
Requires a high support, which in this case was not so structured, despite three meetings were held with ECAs.
Need for training on financial sustainability.

What do we learned about these processes?
Management Contracts in Protected Areas
The Chief of the ANP should be maintained as part of SERNANP to fulfill those duties in the National Government.
There must be an instance of participation: Technical Financial Supervision Commission, where the President of the Management Committee participates.
High monitoring and evaluation based on achievement of results of contracts are required.
