It is intended to assist the USAID Offices of Agriculture and Natural Resources in identifying which priority topics would warrant their support in order to achieve the greatest impact on smallholder-oriented growth and rural development. The first application of this report will be to help USAID identify Collaborative Research Support Program (CRSP) priorities as four of the current CRSPs are coming to an end in FY 2006. Stakeholder comments on this draft document are welcome.” No publisher stonyot Environment natural resources management 2006-12-09T23:48:24Z Link http://rmportal.net/library/I/A/general-information-on-the-topic-natural-resource-management/natural-resources-information-clearinghouse-nric-1 To assist the NRM Office and Teams, the Natural Resources Information Clearinghouse (NRIC) has developed online resource libraries about USAID’s natural resources work.

Experts from both within and outside USAID shared their knowledge and tools for understanding the complex role that wise natural resource management plays in reducing poverty. The seminars explored the conflicts and barriers to improving the livelihoods of the poor, and ways of assisting them with both improving their immediate standard of living and ensuring a sustainable future. The series presented eight seminars organized around the following topics: (1) Links beteen NRM & Poverty? (2) Power and Social Dimensions; (3) Assests, Poverty Traps & Rights; (4) Markets, Trade and Poverty Reduction; (5) Migrations and Marginal Lands; (6) Macro/National Level Issues; (7) Programmatic Issues & Tools; and (8) Conflict, Corruption, NRM & Poverty Reduction.
