Facilitation of multi-stakeholder processes amd curriculum development
Wetlands fulfill many functions and provide many products and services that have sustained humans over centuries. The management of wetlands requires a multi-disciplinary approach that integrates the technical, economic, environmental, social and legal aspects of water management. These aspects do not end at country borders but need to be addressed on a river basin scale.
Integrated wetland management is a process through which people can develop a vision, agree on shared values and behaviour, make informed decisions and act together to manage the natural resources of a river basin. Steps to achieve understanding of the various views, and to explore how far such separate views can be shared, will be one of the main issues covered within the ‘International Training of Trainers on Wetland Management, a course focusing on the facilitation of multi-stakeholder processes and curriculum development’ (ICWM-TOT).
The training aims to provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary for curriculum development in the field of wetland management in their own region. Within the field of wetland management the ICWM-TOT will focus on the need for transboundary and cross-sectoral co-operation, the facilitation of multi-stakeholder processes and facilitating learning within wetland management planning.
