	WHAT MAKES PRM UNIQUE? 
PRM  is a community owned and participatory process where learning takes place through implementation at the community level 
It is a process of planning and management of rangelands led by communities, and can be supported by government, development actors and/or rangeland experts. 
PRM consists of three interconnected stages – Understanding, Planning and Implementation.  
Through participatory processes that involve all major stakeholders, a community defines an appropriate rangeland management unit and conducts an inventory to document rangeland resources found within the unit and their status.








PARTICIPATORY Resource identification
To gather information on different resources in rangelands; their uses , users and other stakeholders – resource mapping and stakeholder mapping report 





SETTING UP & STRENGTHENING RANGELAND MANAGEMENT INSTITUTIONS 


Identify the appropriate community led group to manage the process 
The selected group/institution will play a central role in the management of rangeland resources and their access 





DEFINING A RANGELAND MANAGEMENT UNIT 


Negotiate and appoint the rangeland management unit and define the area under their responsibility 
NB/rangeland management unit can consist of one or several communities that  agree to work together 
Reaching an agreement may require involving neighbors and other stakeholders 
Detailed participatory rangeland resource assessment for use outlining status of different resources 



Implementation of PRM
Actualizing participatory management through defined roles of different resource users and managers
Making established management systems and structures work
Collaborative/participatory monitoring and evaluation
