CBNRM Net

Worldwide, people working on Community-Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) - as practitioners, funders, managers and researchers - are increasingly requesting better communication capabilities. CBNRM Net aims to provide such communication and networking capabilities. Such capabilities, specifically the Internet and email, and more broadly Web 2.0 tools, make it possible to exchange experiences, manage relevant knowledge, and support learning across countries, sectors, cultures, and languages, and in this way achieve better results. The global context for these changes includes increased emphasis on culture, local institutions, traditional knowledge, participation and participatory approaches, and NGOs and civil society, within an overall nation-state framework characterized by a focus on decentralization, democratization, governance and transparency.
