Collaborate to Tackle Your Company's Water Risks<\/h3><\/span><\/div><\/div>[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Cross-sector natural resources stewardship approaches are emerging around the world seeking to address shared natural resource risks through collective action. Natural resources stewardship is based on the premise that all actors play a role in the sustainable use and management of natural resources, as business, government, or civil society cannot effectively address complex and shared risks alone. To help address these challenges, GIZ’s Natural Resources Stewardship Program (NatuReS) has developed the Natural Resources Risk and Action Framework (NRAF)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The NRAF was first developed by NatuReS’ predecessor program, the International Water Stewardship Program (IWaSP), in 2013 and has since been updated with international best practices and lessons learnt from projects implemented at the community level.\u00a0 It guides practitioners in forming and executing natural resources stewardship partnerships. The proven five-phase process increases the quality of partnerships that deliver accelerated and sustainable results to achieve security for businesses, communities, and government.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column]

Who is this course for?<\/b><\/p>\n

The course is for stakeholders from the public, private sector or civil society, who want to learn how to reduce environmental risks jointly and sustainably across sectors by forming stewardship partnerships.<\/p>\n

What will participants learn?<\/b><\/p>\n

By the end of this course, participants will understand and gain the necessary knowledge to facilitate the different steps of a multi-stakeholder stewardship partnership. This will enable them to address environmental risks collectively by using a tested guiding natural resources management framework.<\/p>\n

The e-learning is hosted on the free digital learning platform\u00a0Atingi<\/a><\/b>. To take the e-learning, you just have to register \u2013 and start! Participants completing the 10-hour course will also receive an accredited certificate![\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”See the list of tools and case studies” shape=”square” size=”lg” align=”center” button_block=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fceowatermandate.org%2Fwraf%2Ftools%2F|||”][vc_column_text]Within the five-phase process, the NRAF provides a set of tools for flexible application, as partnerships and their development differ case by case. These tools address various themes, such as building relationships, assessing natural resource risks and options for risk mitigation, and making the business case for stewardship. Each of the NRAF\u2019S five Phases has three elements and each of those have several key points to guide practitioners\u2019 activities in the design and implementation of stewardship projects. This guidance is neither linear nor absolute, as elements of some Phases may occur simultaneously, while other Phases may have to be revisited. Being aware of and selectively following this process will increase the probability of favorable outcomes in natural resource security and in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. \u00a0The NRAF has already been applied successfully in more than 10 partnerships.[\/vc_column_text]
