The Wageningen UR Centre for Development Innovation (CDI) is currently seeking applications for its course on “Landscape Governance”. The course starts from 2 April 2018 until Fri 13 April 2018 in the Netherlands.
Forested landscapes worldwide are increasingly integrated in global processes of trade, market development, resource exploitation and climate change. Site-based or community level approaches can no longer cope with these issues which exceed the local sphere of influence.
This course challenges forest and nature management professionals to adopt an integrative perspective, to look beyond the forest, and build bridges between the public and the private sector.
Course objectives
Upon completion of the course will:
- critically examine landscape dynamics at various levels and scales;
- understand the implications of up-scaling participation to working with diverse stakeholder groups at landscape level;
- be able to identify the institutional change needed to enhance public-private collaboration and multi-stakeholder governance processes at landscape level;
- be able to assess own role as manager or practitioner, and develop competencies as a facilitator of landscape governance processes.
Eligibility Criteria
- Participants should be experienced professionals with several years of working experience in the fields of natural resources management, forestry, agriculture, rural development, rural livelihoods, sustainable development or other relevant areas.
- Proficiency in English is required.
