Resumen
Descripción
Conflict has a significant impact on development efforts, severely affecting the economies of entire nations and endangering people’s food security and nutrition. Food insecurity can, in turn, exacerbate tensions and increase the risk of future conflict. While environmental factors are rarely, if ever, the sole cause, the exploitation of natural resources and related environmental stresses can feature in all phases of the conflict cycle, from contributing to the outbreak and perpetuation of violence to undermining prospects for peace. Natural resources management, especially land and water management, becomes a critical challenge in conflict or post-conflict situations, aggravated by climate change and land degradation. Strengthening the natural resources management system and information is widely acknowledged to be key to the wider process of peacebuilding and sustainable development. This programme aims to bolster the knowledge and skills base in natural resources management and lay the foundation for a system that not only responds to the immediate needs of the post-crisis reconstruction process, but also guarantees sustainability in the long term. Reinforcing capacities is critical where conflict has often eroded human capital and weakened institutional capacity. The programme will identify the capacity gaps and provide a comprehensive and tailor-made suite of training opportunities to a wide and diverse audience at country level.
