- Challenge:
- In 2008 a workshop was held in the Philippines on “Modelling Economic Trade-offs and Ecological Processes in Landscape-scale Planning.”
- Outcomes:
- I gave inputs from the perspective of a social scientist and a project implementer at grassroots level.
- My presentation was titled “A Holistic approach to engaging multiple stakeholder groups in Namaqualand, South Africa”.
- I also formed part of working group 4 who brought out the paper, “Assessing Costs and Trade-offs.”
- The results of that workshop determined the research priorities for the following 2-3 years.
