Support was requested from the Rockefeller Foundation under this grant for collaborative efforts to further develop key science-based tools that can help improve local participatory watershed management and facilitate its integration into higher-level natural resource management policies and programs. Activities conducted under this project have built on ongoing partnerships and activities, and their previous achievements to take the next steps in pushing forward our knowledge and experience in three closely interrelated priority areas: 1) Building a pilot spatial information network capable of linking local land use plans, monitoring and management with sub-basin and higher levels of activity; 2) Developing tools to strengthen local watershed monitoring and management conducted by communities themselves; 3) Piloting analyses and analytical modelling that provide broader impact assessments and predictive capacity to help improve broader public understanding, set priorities, and better inform policy decision-making at various levels.
