SCOPE
Wageningen UR and the Royal Tropical Institute in the Netherlands are
pleased to announce the organization of the international course on Local
Governance and Decentralisation, to be held in the Netherlands from February 27
to March 9, 2012.
The past decade has seen a growing interest in the role of governance in stimulating local economic development and sustainable management of natural resources. The role of governments is shifting towards creating an enabling environment and to facilitating development rather than steering it. This has led to the understanding that local governance for rural development should be addressed as a multi-stakeholder process with interactions taking place at different levels amongst actors with different ambitions or perceptions.
Participants
will learn to deal with the complexity of governance and how to engage with
different stakeholders to improve service delivery, steer local economic
development and improve natural resource management. After the course,
participants will leave with increased understanding of their current and
desired position, roles, and interests in relation to local governance for rural
development. The course is particularly interesting for mid-career professionals
working at universities, NGOs and/or government institutions.
