This coordination is needed to ensure that the components of the PES programmes, for example, financing, contracting, and monitoring, are all effectively working together. Because PES programmes often involve more than one level of government, for example national, regional and local, as well as more than one authority within each level, for example ministries and departments of environment finance and planning, ensuring this coordination can be challenging. This coordination is needed to ensure that PES objectives are not compromised by contradictory policies or efforts. An example of the effects of a failure to achieve this coordinated support can be seen in a PES programme in one South-East Asian country which paid villagers to guard endangered hornbill nests.
