ICEM advisory services
for the conservation and sustainable use
of natural resources.
In partnership with others, ICEM seeks to help shape development in ways that reduce poverty and sustain efficient and equitable management of
natural resources. It achieves this through piloting and demonstration, capacity and institution building, collaborative research and policy studies, networking and
knowledge dissemination.
ICEM works with national and local governments to help in the analysis of problems and options, and in defining priorities for action. The Centre supports program and
project development and management, acting as a facilitator and catalyst in bringing together the skills, organizations and resources needed to address those priorities.
