|
A
centre for promoting and capacitating different
partnerships to experiment, innovate and establish
processes that strengthen
the natural resources management practices and
related livelihoods |
|
|
|
|
This centre
provides the ground for the field level action. It has
its roots in the Action Study Project (WASP) initiated by Centre
for World Solidarity (CWS) and WASSAN
in 1998. Over the time it has grown into a full fledged ‘Support Services
Centre’
The centre is developing diversified partnerships to provide
capacity building and field level support services for watershed
based Natural Resource Management (NRM) activities to NGOs, their networks and Community Based
Organisations (CBOs).
These partnerships provide an experimental
learning ground for several innovative approaches in improving NRM
based livelihoods of the poor and women. More importantly, these
field-based initiatives provide valuable insights on the policy.
The experiences provide proof-of-concept on advocacy issues and
feed into the policy formulation processes. Support services
partnerships are strategically important in this sense.
The centre is largely supported by AEI (Luxembourg), HIVOS.

The support services partnerships are
evolving over the years in response to the dynamic
and strategic needs of advocacy. It has started
with few individual NGOs and moved on to a
network approach and now encompasses strong
partnership with CBOs, especially MMSs and PRIs |
