Cornerstone Strategy
Ensure viability of business related projects by
shifting emphasis
  • Away from approach that CBOs should become
    entrepreneurs

    that encourages entrepreneurs to invest with
    confidence
  • By providing infrastructure, security of tenure
    and a regulatory framework.

Despite a strategic shift in emphasis the end
objective of CBNRM viz the upliftment and
empowerment of the communities remains as the
central focus of the Program

This central focus of the Program is to be
achieved by ensuring that

    benefit the community
  • Relationships with entrepreneurs is contracted
    with clearly defined responsibilities, monitoring
    and sanctioning mechanisms
  • CBOs retain full control and responsibility of
    funding provided by the EDF
