Main messages

  • Through understanding how nature works, science is the impartial partner,

competing users can start from a common ground to working out how they can all benefit from natural resources.

  • This is the first step in establishing trust between competing users even in conflict

situations

  • Make sure that all affected are part of the process and ensure communities have a

voice specially women.

  • The project contributed to lifting the blinkers in both temporal (sustainability) and

spatial (catchment) scales.

  • Darfur and other conflict prone locations are inhabited by people who have no

political interests and capable of responding positively to development projects.

  • So to the development community do not shy away from conflict-prone areas.
