About
Overview:The Joint Programme (JP) aimed at developing sustainable management of natural resources and access to safe water, hygiene, energy and a healthy environment in the Autonomous Northern Region (RAAN) including the micro watersheds of the Waspuk, Kukalaya and Wawa rivers, in two municipalities (Waspam and Bonanza), that belong to the Bosawas Biosphere Reserve. A major change in the JP design led to one of the most important achievements: the original product to pilot environmental services in the selected micro watersheds was changed, at the request of the JP steering committee, to the implementation of an Early Warning System (EWS) in those watersheds. Other significant achievements include the partnership of the United Nations System (UNS) with the state institutions leading to joint planning, execution, responsibility and accountability. The intervention has also contributed to the recognition by all stakeholders of the local and community-based authorities with particular consideration to ethnic and cultural dimensions. The programme was instrumental in bringing experience and knowledge to poor rural and indigenous sectors through various activities that improved protection and production of natural resources, as well as access to basic services such as water and energy. The approach based on co-management of natural resources as social capital can positively influence territorial governance (e.g. committees for safe water and hygiene, watershed management committees, energy committees) through the emergence of territorial governance platforms.
