Descripción
To enhance natural resource governance and restore the degraded rangelands, an ecosystem approach to resource governance is a pre requisite. The Participatory Rangeland Management Planning (PRMP) has been used by IUCN in engaging communities in rangeland management and planning. The aim of PRMP is to facilitate participatory rangeland management and planning in a simplified and practical way. The center of PRMP is participation by all the key stakeholders. The principles of PRM closely link with the principles of EbA especially in enhancing participation, incorporation of local knowledge and planning at the ecosystem scale. The PRMP approach was used in a project on strengthening natural resource governance in Garba Tula in Isiolo County, Kenya. The goal of the project was to improve governance to support better livelihood security and ecosystem management. The main output from the project was supporting the development of by-laws at the County level which recognize and build-on customary rules and regulations.
