“I learnt that there is a lot we can do in terms of reaching our audience. We were falling short but I think with this knowledge on behavior change communication we are ready to do better.”
Behavioral Change for Natural Resource Management
Challenges in natural resource management like deforestation, water pollution, poor waste management or overgrazing aren’t just technical problems. They’re also behavioral.
Our mission
To effectively respond to these behavioral challenges, ReNOKA, an integrated catchment movement in Lesotho and Busara, an international behavioral science research and advisory firm, collaborated to strengthen the capacity of specific government and private sector actors working in natural resource management in Lesotho. The training aims to provide stakeholders with the skills, tools and knowledge from behavioral science to design engaging and effective behavior change communication interventions that promote sustainable use, conservation, and community stewardship of natural resources.
