To
be offered starting this year, this international course is
designed specifically for decision-makers working in
Community-based Natural Resources Management (CBNRM). It
is meant to be a 'think tank' for CBNRM where participants
reflect upon and share experiences on CBNRM, explore principles
of PAR, experiment with a range of tools for examining different
perspectives relevant to CBNRM with actual stakeholders,
critically analyze the PAR approach in relation to CBNRM, and
have the opportunity to document their insights to add to the
discourse on PAR for CBNRM. This will be the chance to
exchange experiences on the current barriers to advancing CBNRM
and evaluate whether PAR could make a contribution in addressing
such challenges. Emphasis will be placed on providing a
stimulating learning environment for participants, facilitators
and others.
