Approaches and activities

CPRNet has a strong dissemination and advocacy orientation, rooted in the experiences of practitioners dealing with the social dimensions of natural resource management.

Newsletter

Most information dissemination is done through the monthly CPRNet Newsletter. Contributions to the Newsletter are welcome.

Mailing lists

Specific information is posted to the mailing lists, including updates of the Register of Members.

National chapters

National Chapters exists in Bangladesh and Burkina Faso. Efforts are underway to establish a Chapter in Mauritania. As the Chapters grow, both in numbers and activities, it will be necessary to find ways and means to support them.

Notes

This is a publication series that contains "good practice" documentation on ongoing work relating to CPR and/or CBNRM management. The Notes have a more-or-less standard structure (initial situation, reform/change process, outcome and lessons learned), are brief (4-5 pages), informal, and are only distributed electronically.

Common property resource management and the World Bank

In this seminar series invited speakers, both World Bank Group staff and others, present and discuss their work on CPR issues. The topics covered range widely in terms of geographic location, type of property resource, type of intervention, and lessons learned.

ESSD core database

Under this project database, presently available only on the World Bank Group's intranet, a perspective on "Community-Based Natural Resource Management and Property Rights" has been established. The perspective, jointly sponsored by CPRNet and ongoing work by the World Bank Institute (formerly the Economic Development institute and the Learning and Leadership Center) on CBNRM, provides ready access to the relevant project portfolio, and supports comparative work and research across a range of parameters.

Other activities

In collaboration with selected World Bank Group units and outside partners, CPRNet aims to contribute to and be involved in: training for World Bank Group staff and others, applied research on CPRs, and dissemination of good practices.
