Natural Resource Management (NRM) is the sustainable utilization and conservation of land, water, soil, plants, and animals to meet present needs while ensuring their availability for future generations. It focuses on balancing human development with environmental protection, addressing issues such as deforestation, water scarcity, soil degradation, and climate change. Effective NRM requires planning, policy-making, community participation, and the use of modern technologies. It helps improve livelihoods, supports biodiversity, and promotes sustainable economic growth. Both public and private institutions can benefit from training in natural resource management, as it equips participants with the knowledge and skills to manage resources responsibly and efficiently.
Training 1: Value Chain Analysis
Value Chain Analysis is a useful tool for working out how you can create the greatest possible value for your customers. In business, we’re paid to take raw inputs, and to “add value” to them by turning them into something of worth to other people. This is easy to see in manufacturing, where the manufacturer “adds value” by taking a raw material of little use to the end- user. It is important in service industries, where people use inputs of time, knowledge, equipment and systems to create services of real value to the person being served – the customer. The training on Value Chain Analysis is an opportunity for participants to develop skill in value chain analysis and enhance profitability of their products.
