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.
