5. COLLABORATION AND PARTICIPATION PRINCIPLES
The management of Hakaluki Haor as an ECA is underpinned by the following principles:
• A commitment to developing collaborative approaches with local communities and to ensure
that the management of Hakaluki Haor is driven by local level interests and needs.
• A commitment to using participatory processes at all stages of the development and
implementation of the management plan;
• A commitment to working in partnership with similar programmes and projects to promote
synergies in the implementation of activities and to avoid overlap and duplication of effort.
• A commitment to capacity building aimed at ensuring that government agencies, community
groups and other stakeholders have the technical skills and resources necessary to manage
natural resources on a sustainable basis.
• A commitment to integrated conservation and development (ICAD) approaches, which
explicitly link natural resource management and conservation with rural livelihoods and
community needs; and
• A commitment to establishing and building the Kulaura project office as the central government
coordinating agency responsible for the effective and sustainable management of Hakaluki Haor
and capable of responding to on-going environmental and developmental challenges.
