 | Evaluating action planning for enhanced natural resources management in peri-urban Kolkata |  | |

| Following on from earlier work (see project R7872) in which the diversity of livelihoods and natural resources were understood within the DFID livelihoods framework, the project hopes to allow everyone involved in sustaining the wetlands a voice in its future management through a process known as action planning. Action planning will provide an opportunity for the Government, landowners, labourers and others to meet together and agree upon a set of actions that will benefit all concerned. This is not just a list of hopes, but sets out the process by which these ideas can be implemented. | |
Purpose: Generate new knowledge of action planning to implement natural resources management strategies for the peri-urban interface of Kolkata, that benefit the poor, formulated through extended interaction with principal stakeholders Image: Wetlands supporting thousands of livelihoods and supplying fresh vegetables, fish and rice to urban residents are sustained by wastewater from the city, but for how long? |
Welcome to the action planning in peri-urban Kolkata homepage. This project (R8365) is funded under the Natural Resources Systems Programme (NRSP). Primarily the project aims to evaluate action planning as a planning approach in the complex social and administrative context of peri-urban Kolkata, however, external support will also be sought for the resulting action plans. |
| Potential donors will be shown the action plan and asked to contribute to ensuring that the wishes of all those with an active interest in the management of the wetlands can be met. Active contributions will also be encouraged from those involved in developing the action plan. If the project is successful it is hoped that the action planning tools developed could be used to assist in the planned management of other wetlands in West Bengal. | |||
