Shared Resources Joint Solutions (SRJS) is one of the 25 strategic partnerships in the policy framework ‘Dialogue and Dissent’ of the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The 5-year partnership is coordinated by IUCN Netherlands Committee with WWF Netherlands. The overall aim is to strengthen the capacity of local NGOs and civil society organisations in 16 low- and middle-income countries to join forces with the public and private sector to protect climate resilience, the water supply and food security. IUCN Secretariat is a sub-contractor, receiving €1,3m over 4 years to build capacity around on business engagement, gender and environmental law and support implementation in Asia, Latin America, East and West Africa.

One particular need identified across several landscapes is around negotiation skills, which can be employed by CSOs when engaging with other CSOs, government and/or business to understand differences and seek mutual gains as a way of avoiding conflict.
