Four priorities
• Use and tenure of natural
resources including land are
relational issues – governance is
key
• Change is therefore also a matter of
relationships
• Long term strategic approaches
with local ownership are essential
• A clear theory of change and
measurable results enable funders
to tell the story of the impact of the
money they spend
