2007/6 TransLinks "Nature, Wealth, & Power Workshop" Quezon City, Philippines
Overview
The workshop brought together 40 people (including participants from USAID Philippines, the Philippines national and local government, local and international NGOs and foundations, indigeneous people's organizations and the private sector and academia) for discussion on the Nature, Wealth, and Power (NWP) framework. The objective was to:
- Introduce the NWP approach and facilitate an exchange of organizational expertise in each of the three areas to better inform planning of projects and implementation of activities.
- Explore how the NWP approach can inform programs anticipated under the Philippines Community Based Forest Management (CBFM) National Strategy and document the CBFM National Strategy as a case study for greater Translinks learning.
- Exchange experiences from other countries on how the NWP approach is currently used and how it may be more effectively integrated into projects in which the participants are involved (including the Philippines and other parts of Asia).
