Centre for Development Innovation
Creating Capacities for Change
In a world that is changing by the day and where knowledge is evolving very
quickly, well-trained professionals are those who make a difference. They are the
real capital when it comes to organising long-lasting impact.
This is, in short, our philosophy at the Centre for Development Innovation (CDI),
Wageningen UR. We actively support our partners to take the lead in addressing
challenges in an increasingly complex and changing world. The population is
growing fast and prosperity is increasing in many regions. Around the world, land
use for food production is reaching its limits and the climate is visibly changing.
Meanwhile, people everywhere are attaching more importance to healthy, safe
and sufficient food. When you as a professional are willing to learn, when you are
open to knowledge and experiences, only then can you act effectively in this
rapidly changing environment.
Wageningen UR offers world-leading scientific and technical expertise on good
and safe food & food production, food security, sustainable value chains and a
healthy living environment. If you are a policy maker, entrepreneur or a
development practitioner working in an international context, CDI is your gateway
to this knowledge. At CDI we focus on the global challenges of food and nutrition
security, sustainable markets, adaptive agriculture, ecosystem governance, and
conflict, disaster and reconstruction. Your practical experiences and challenges
inspire us to work on future solutions.
Our professional staff are specialists in international development and change
processes. We combine technical knowledge and socio-economic expertise in our
programme areas, with excellent training and process management skills:
facilitation, interactive training, policy development and organisational change.
Our expertise, project experiences, networks and professional interaction with
scientists from a.o. Wageningen UR, policy makers, entrepreneurs and civil
society are the basis of the courses which provide participants with a rich mixture
of state-of-the-art theoretical insights and practical experiences.
When you join one of our courses you will expand your horizons, share
experience and knowledge with others working in similar fields, get up-to-date on
current scientific insights, methodologies and practices, and you will become part
of our 22,000-strong alumni network.
I very much hope to welcome and meet you in one of our courses!

Ecosystem Governance
Why governance?
Ecosystem governance creates the setting for good
ecosystem management by defining or redefining
fundamental objectives, policies, laws and
institutions. Since ecosystem boundaries rarely
coincide with jurisdictional boundaries, and since
capacities for managing ecosystems are spread
over a wide variety of stakeholders, we need to find
innovative ways toestablish effective ecosystem
governance. Thisrequires an understanding of
three different systems: biophysical systems, social
systems and governance systems. The CDI
Ecosystem Governance programme supports
individuals andorganisations in managing
ecosystems sustainably and sharing the benefits
equitably. We do this by enhancing their capacities
for facilitation of change, conflict management,
jointdecision making, institutional change and
integrated management planning.

cultural identity for their inhabitants. But because of growing global demand
for food, fibre and fuels, unsustainable extraction and rapid expansion of
cash-crops are causing unprecedented changes in these landscapes. At the
same time the demand for environmental services is increasing: forested
landscapes are expected to provide clean water, to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, and to protect biodiversity. With all these newly emerging and
rapidly expanding changes, it should come as no surprise that these
landscapes run the risk of becoming conflict hotspots.
Managers, practitioners and policy makers alike, require substantial
leadership capacity to ensure that economic development, environmental
sustainability and social development are integrated, while creating space for
innovations and entrepreneurship to grow. Leaders are looked at for vision
and direction, as well as for the technical and social skills to manage
landscape dynamics, while ensuring that the interests of government,
private sector, civil society and communities are realized. In this course, we
will help managers, practitioners and policy makers to develop a landscape
perspective to spatial planning and decision making, which offers new space
for negotiation and collaboration, taking into account the needs of local
resource users as well as the global community.
Course objectives
Upon completion of the course you will:
understand the context, principles and relevance of a multi-functional and
multi- level landscape approaches to natural resource management;
be able to examine the social dynamics in landscapes, including conflicts
emerging from overlapping land use, using a range of analytical tools;
have strengthened skills to develop and facilitate multi-stakeholder
negotiation, conflict mediation and decision making at landscape level.
Target audience
Participants need to have several years of professional work experience in
the fields of natural resources management, forestry, agriculture, rural
development, or other relevant areas. Proficiency in English is required.

a strategic planning process in which the outputs of the workshop are used
as inputs;
a set of action plans to reduce transaction costs and/or exploit opportunities
in the selected agrifood value chains.
When implemented, action plans will build trust and reduce opportunistic
behaviour in the selected value chains. As a result, marketing costs and prices will
come down while margins increase. The overall performance of the value chain
will improve, which will form the basis for private-sector driven innovations in
agrifood value chains. During the course, you will get familiar with business
planning tools to ensure that (new) business ventures are based on sound
business principles, and practice your skills and new-learned tools on actual cases.
Course objectives
Upon completion of the course you will:
have become sensitive to imbalances within agrifood value chains and how
these issues can be addressed;
have strengthened your capacity to promote rural wealth creation;
have strengthened your competence in the area of market access of micro
and medium entrepreneurs;
have the ability to identify pro-poor, smallholder inclusive and/or genderfriendly agribusiness development opportunities;
be able to apply the tools that support private sector driven innovations in
agrifood value chains.
Target audience
The course is intended for mid-career professionals of government
departments, NGOs and civil society organisations, businesses, development

of their operations: rising demand for agrifood products, combined with strains
on water, land, and labour, stress the growing urgency of securing supply. As
the world witnesses a shifting business landscape, old, unresolved problems
scream out for attention. Poverty remains a devastating, cyclical trap for
millions, with rural populations adversely affected. Food security is still an
elusive goal for over 1 billion of the Earths inhabitants. Further, events like
Tunisias Jasmine Revolution assert once more how important accessible,
affordable food is for stability and peace. To face globally pressing issues it is
critical that the private sector play a meaningful role.
However merging business and social objectives requires ambition, strength
of will, and a dedication to business as unusual. This course will help you

populations in need of assistance. As men and women have specific roles and
responsibilities with regards to strengthening their livelihoods and food
security, it is necessary to identify gender-specific needs, constraints and
opportunities.
In this training, participants will learn to analyse livelihood strategies and the
factors that influence them. They will be provided with tools to get a better
understanding of male and female farmers decision-making processes. These
processes concern crop production, livestock and income-generating activities
but also the handling of vulnerabilities and migration, among other issues. In a
community, rural livelihoods vary due to factors such as social class, caste and
ethnicity but also gender roles, which influence the opportunities for
strengthening a rural livelihood.
Topics such as labour division and decision-making with regard to resources
and other household dynamics are covered in this training. Visits to rural
enterprises throughout the Netherlands are organised in order to gain practical
knowledge in this domain.
