| Participation in the Caribbean. A Review of Grenada's Forest Policy Process |
| Stock Code 7559IIED, IIED 2000 94 pages Price USD 15.00 |
| Ships in:1-2 days |
This independent study traces the lessons of Grenada’s participatory policy process, which resulted in a shift away from policy based on the preoccupations of foresters, politicians and foreign consultants, towards a recognition of stakeholders’ values. The process revealed that major forest values were environmental services, and agricultural and recreation support systems, rather than timber as before. The report analyses context, actors, policy processes, policy contents, and impacts, and identifies ways to implement that policy, based on a continuing participatory approach. |

| Changing Views on Change: Participatory Approaches to Monitoring the Environment |
| Stock Code 6140IIED, IIED 1998 96 pages Price USD 19.50 |
| Ships in:1-2 days |
This Discussion Paper reviews participatory approaches to monitoring environmental change. It draws on published literature, interviews with practitioners, and the practical experiences of a research project on participatory monitoring of sustainable agriculture in Brazil. This project seeks to develop a viable and relevant monitoring process with farmers, farmers unions, and NGOs to help assess the social and environmental impacts of their efforts in developing more sustainable forms of agriculture. ~The term ‘participatory monitoring’ is used to describe a wide range of practices. Here we use it to describe monitoring approaches that develop partnerships of multiple stakeholders for efficient, effective and socially inclusive monitoring. The drive for accountability and the need for more information to improve planning processes have given great impetus to participatory monitoring. This publication provides comprehensive practical examples that can be drawn upon to support or refute the claims regarding Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation. |
