Natural resource governance trainers' manual (Bengali version)

There is a real need for all those who are involved in making and implementing decisions –- including central government planners and policymakers, local government administrators, civil society and the private sector –- to understand the basic concepts and principles of governance and be able to apply them in their daily work. There has been growing demand for a practical training course that allows target audiences at local, national, and regional levels to apply their understanding of natural resource governance in a way that maximizes their own effectiveness in their day-to-day work. Against this background, IUCN, RECOFTC, and SNV combined resources to develop this Trainers’ Manual. After six years of preparation and testing, we are confident this Manual offers sound theory and good practical guidance for teaching and learning about natural resource governance. We hope that those who teach and those who learn from it will each contribute to strengthening natural resource governance in their own spheres of influence and that their efforts contribute to achieving the Millennium Development Goals, eradicating extreme poverty and hunger and ensuring environmental sustainability.
