BUILDING COMMUNITY CAPACITY

Priorities:

• Organisational barriers
• Limited community participation

People’s behaviors and practices are often the underlying cause of why natural resource degradation occurs.

The main causes of Organisational Barriers are:

• Poor collaboration between stakeholders
• Lack of stakeholder technical capacity
• Lack of stakeholder resources (e.g. financial, human)
• Inability to assess triple bottom line trade-offs
• Inadequate regulation and policy mechanisms
  

Limited Community Participation is caused by:

• Community knowledge overlooked
• Lack of community awareness
• Lack of community technical and financial capacity
