Our Vision: To have local populations actively managing the natural resources on which they depend in a
rational, representative and equitable way in order to achieve greater livelihood security and combat
poverty. This implies a continual process of collaboration and negotiation leading to the empowerment of
actors concerned.
Our Mission: To promote decentralised resource management as one of the most effective methods of
facilitating real, long term development through a programme focus on four key areas:
Supporting processes leading to decentralised Natural Resource Management;
All CRAC-GRN interventions are based on the conviction that:
Our Credo: The different interest groups dependant on natural resources (particularly common property
resources) should be at the centre of the decision-making process concerning their future. It is for the
stakeholders to discuss, negotiate and make decisions together leading to sustainable management. In
order to be able to accompany this process, external ‘facilitating’ bodies such as the CRAC-GRN, need to
have strong working principles and values within which the actors are free to reflect, negotiate, organise
themselves and make informed decisions.

Supporting processes leading to decentralised Natural Resource Management;
- Promoting participatory development processes;
- Promoting inclusion & valid representation of marginalised groups in the GRN decision-making
processes; - Promoting collaboration and negotiation as permanent and essential elements of NRM in the Sahel.
All CRAC-GRN interventions are based on the conviction that:
- Rational management of natural resources is primarily a social rather than a technical challenge;
- Populations have the right to be fully involved in the management of resources on which they
depend.; - Local populations are capable of rational management if given the real opportunity.
