Innovation and multistakeholder
platforms-MESO AND MACRO
Communication and innovation
- MESO
Local stakeholders and indiivduals
in gorups, committees etc
- MICRO
:National Networks e.g. Adaptation
Network, Agroecology Network
•National organistions e.g., PGS-SA and
SAOSO
•Regional forums e.g., Water Source Area
forums (WWF) Living Catchments
Forums (SANBI)
:Cluster of s wlocal groupsithin and
between areas learn and implement CRA
together
•These clusters ineteract with external
stakeholders e.g., NGOs, Government
Deparments, Local and District
Municipalities, traditional authorities and
Water Service authorities
:Individuals in groups learn and implement
together
•These groups set up other interest groups
and committees e.g., water committees,
village savings and loan assocations,
marketing groups, livestock associations
and resource conservation agreements
