A core group of NRI staff, with particular
experience in issues of livelihoods and institutions,
runs an annual Social Development course, in collaboration
with Imperial College at Wye. We have designed and delivered
short courses in participatory research methodology
and participatory natural resource management, and we
have delivered training in livelihoods analysis and
participatory systems-based approaches, and their application,
in such diverse locations as India, Nigeria, South Africa
and Moldova. Other related skills in which we offer
training include project-cycle management, and the design
and facilitation of strategic planning processes.
In many of its theme work areas, NRI
has a long-established reputation for the delivery of
training in support of the continuing professional development
of natural resource specialists in developing countries
(and in the development agencies of national and international
donors), and many of our staff working in these countries
have used national printing and broadcasting media to
disseminate advice and information. We also have well-established
experience in using extension agents, local radio, commercial
agents, posters and leaflets to promote and disseminate
development messages. The global revolution in information
and communication technology provides us with novel
opportunities to promote innovations to policy makers
and development workers through global telecommunications
networks.
