Book (series)The new generation of watershed management programmes and projects
A resource book for practitioners and local decision-makers based on the findings and recommendations of a FAO review
2006On the occasion of the International Year of Mountains-2002, FAO and its partners undertook a large-scale assessment and global review of the current status and future trends of integrated and participatory watershed management. The overall objectives were to promote the exchange and dissemination of experiences in implementing watershed management projects in the decade from 1990 to 2000 and to identify the vision for a new generation of watershed management programmes and projects. This resour ce book represents a summary and critical analysis of the rich discussions and vast materials that emerged during the review, as well as the review's findings and recommendations. It presents the state of the art in watershed management, promotes further reflection and creative thinking and proposes new ideas and approaches for future watershed management programmes and projects. This publication has been written primarily for field-level watershed management practitioners and local decision-mak ers involved in watershed management at the district or municipality level. It will also be a useful source of information for other readers such as senior officers and consultants specialized in other areas, evaluators, policy-makers and students of watershed management. -
Book (series)NEGOTIATION, ENVIRONMENT AND TERRITORIAL DEVELOPMENT 2016
Also available in:
No results found.The GreeNTD approach aims to achieve an agreed, legitimate and sustainable use and management of a given piece of space for the benefit of humankind whilst safeguarding the ecosystem, current and future. i.e., by ensuring that living conditions of all forms of life are preserved. In general, the preservation of heterogeneity as the conditions and forms of life may be considered to be cardinal objective of sustainable territorial development. The emphasis on a historic and socially constructed id entity is important, and its relation with an institutional framework and a set of social agents. This goes beyond considerations of economic and social policy, as it also includes governance and citizenship, socio-cultural identities along gender or ethnic lines, political and cultural trans-boundary interactions (local-national-global), effects of technological trends on local cultures, local constraints, and local opportunities. This document introduces an innovative approach, that repr esents the most advanced and comprehensive one, based on many years of experiences and projects carried out all around the world. The GreeNTD is a people centered, process-oriented socioecological approach to territorial development. It is based on a multi-stakeholders engagement to foster a progressive consensus (Socio-Ecological Territorial Agreement - SETA) leading towards a holistic, multiscale and negotiated vision.
