Collaboration
and Networking
"IIED’s strength is its emphasis on collaboration with its partners and networks, especially in the developing world, and its commitment to finding practical and sustainable solutions to global environmental and developmental challenges." Wangari
Maathai, IIED’s extensive global partnerships enable it to link grassroots agendas and action to national and international policy-making. Climate change negotiations for instance, are as important for coastal fishing communities or Sahelian pastoralists as they are for the new traders in carbon, the polluters who buy forests to soak up greenhouse gases, or the Northern environment ministers balancing energy reduction targets against winning votes. Only rarely can grassroots organizations make an impact at the international policy level. That is where IIED can help — by providing assistance and research resources to local groups and help to get their concerns heard and understood at the political level. Our networks include:Regional and International Networking Group (RING) Resource Centres for Participatory Learning and Action (RCPLA) National strategies for sustainable development (nssd) Regional Advisory Panels (RAPs) Copyright © 2005 International Institute for Environment and Development. |
