DSE Dialogue and training programmes in land use planning
1. The mandate and role of the DSE
The German Foundation for International Development (DSE) is an institution which pro-
vides a forum for development policy dialogue and advanced training of specialists and
executive personnel from developing and transitional countries. International confer-
ences, study tours, seminars and training courses support human resources develop-
ment and institutional capacity building. Through its dialogue and training programmes
the DSE currently reaches more than 10,000 participants annually in Africa, Asia and
Latin America.
Founded in 1959 by the German Federal parliament and State governments, the DSE
contributes to German development co-operation on the basis of the German Federal
Government’s development policy. The institutional donor is the Federal Ministry for
Economic Co-operation and Development (BMZ). In collaboration with national and inter-
national partner organisations at home and abroad, DSE has been conducting for over
30 years now programmes enabling more than 150 000 managerial personnel and spe-
cialists from over 150 countries of the Third World. The programmes are being con-
ducted in Germany as well as in countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America.
The DSE has seven training centres in the Federal States which are specialised in rural
development and food security, social and economic development, vocational training,
public administration, public health, education and developing planning.
The Food and Agriculture Development Centre (ZEL) with its conference and training
centres at Feldafing (near Munich) and Zschortau (near Leipzig) is active in the fields of
rural development, agricultural production, natural resources and forestry. The branch at
Zschortau has conducted - since the year 1994 - programmes in the field of land use plan-
ning.
Applications for DSE programs: All programs are managed under the German scholar-
ship programme. DSE application forms for standard courses must be forwarded to the
DSE through the German Embassies in the respective country. For seminars and pro-
gramme package measures, applications are usually forwarded by the national partner
institutions and the German Embassies who will be informed by the DSE about the next pro-
grammes.

2. Overview: DSE Dialogue and training programmes in land use planning
Broad issues of integrated natural resources planning are addressed in standard training
courses which cover topics of the whole planning process:
• Methods and procedures of land use planning for rural development. This annual 5-week course
  emphasises the national and provincial planning level. Aside from the training in technical
  tools, the participants elaborate proposals for institutional strengthening and collaboration and a
  set of framework conditions favourable for sustainable resources management. A variety of
  case studies from participants and a practical planning exercise focus on practical learning
  methods. The course is adapted to the needs of participants from anglophone Africa and Asia.
  Experience from German planning systems, e.g. land consolidation, supplement the case
  studies from Asia and Africa. For details, see the program flyer and diagram pages 3-4.
• Community and district land use planning. This 4-week course aims at participants from anglo-
  phone Africa to exercise participatory methods and procedures of natural resources planning

with special consideration of the integration of indigenous knowledge and sector specialists in-
  puts in the planning process. Practical learning is based on a modified procedure used in dis-
  trict land use planning in Zimbabwe, which is applied at two villages in the Masvingo Province.
  Experiences in community based natural resources management (Campfire-approach) sup-
  plement the planning exercise. For details, see the diagram pages 5 .
• Land use planning for protected areas and their surroundings. Courses were conducted from
  1994 to 1997 in Germany and Latin America and they focussed on zoning concepts for pro-
  tected areas, on conflict management and the integration of local people in sustainable re-
  sources management of protected areas. The previous training courses will be continued in a
  set of two programme packages for Africa and Latin America which include training and dia-
  logue measures.

Documentations of all training courses were prepared as internal working documents for
the participants and their institutions.
Dialogue programmes in the form of seminars supplement the standard training courses.
They are conducted at irregular intervals and on demand.

  tation Dok 1860a. SE 721-300-98.
• Sustainable land use in rural development: tools for analysis and evaluation for specialists from
  Africa and Asia. DSE Documentation Dok 1827a. SE 721-303-96.

In Africa, special seminars in the field of protected areas planning were also conducted
in collaboration with GTZ-projects and their partner institutions:
Ø Land use planning for conflict management in protected areas and buffer zones. Venue:
  Krüger National Park/South Africa. November 1996, 2 weeks. 26 participants from South Af-
  rica. Partners: Department of Land Affairs; Rural Development Programme (GTZ), LISTRA
  (GTZ).
Ø Buffer zone management - involvement of local people in resources management. Venue:
  Buea, Cameroon. April 1997, 2 weeks. 38 participants from Africa. Partner: Mt Cameroon Project
  (GTZ).
Ø Land use planning for protected areas systems. Venue: Ganzekraal/Cape Province, South Af-
  rica. March 1998. 2 weeks. 26 participants from South Africa. Partners: Department of Land
  Affairs; Transform and Rural Development Programmes (both GTZ).
Ø Buffer zone management - participatory management for sustainable use and conservation of
    natural resources. Venue: Kurasini Training Centre, Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania. September
    1998, 2 weeks. 38 participants from Southern and Eastern Africa. Partners: National Land Use
    Commission; Selous Conservation Programme, LISTRA & ABS (GTZ Sector programmes).
The documentations of these seminars were prepared as internal working documents for
the participants and their institutions.

Programme packages aim to combine a set of dialogue and training measures and they
focus on a specific area. They are conducted in close co-operation with national part-
ners. At present, the DSE has three programme packages in the field of land use plan-
ning:
Ø Integrated land use and water resources planning in Vietnam and Laos. A sequence of semi-
  nars and training courses was initiated in 1995 and will continue until the year 2001 (1st
  phase). A list of programmes in the fields watershed management planning and land use plan-
  ning (other programmes cover the fields of irrigation management, forestry and eco-farming)
  follows on the next pages: Programme P 7-35-01.
Ø Land use planning: Management of protected areas systems towards integrating conservation
  and the sustainable use of natural resources. A sequence of programmes with an expert
  meeting, seminars, training courses, study tours and follow-up seminars is scheduled for the
  period 1999 to 2003 for institutions in Southern and Eastern Africa. More details follow on the
  next pages: Programme P 7-21-01.
Ø Instrumentos de planificación y conceptos metodológicos para la gestión sostenible de recur-
  sos forestales en América Latina. Métodos integrales de planificación para la conservación de
recursos forestales. A sequence of programmes with expert meetings, seminars, training
    courses, study tours and follow-up seminars is scheduled for the period 1999 to 2002 for insti-
    tutions in South and Central America. The programmes cover a wide range of activities in
    forest management and conservation and land use planning. One training course, scheduled
    for 1999 and 2001 will focus on Land use planning for protected areas systems, whereas
    seminars focus on Legal aspects and land tenure in protected areas planning (2000) and on
    environmental impact assessment for plans. Details follow on page 10: Programme 7-74-01.

DSE-ZEL Programme P 7-21-01. Section land use planning
Land Use Planning: Management of Protected Areas Systems towards the In-
tegration of Conservation and Sustainable Use of Natural Resources

THE PROGRAMME AT A GLANCE
The Food and Agriculture Development Centre (ZEL) of the German Foundation for In-
ternational Development (DSE) is, in collaboration with international and national partner
institutions, implementing a dialogue and training programme in the region of Southern
and Eastern Africa during the period 1999 to 2003. The German Ministry for Economic
Co-operation and Development (BMZ) is financing this programme.
BACKGROUND. The concept of this programme is based on a series of DSE training
courses and seminars which were conducted from 1994 to 1998 with participants from
Africa. Here, several issues in linking conservation and sustainable development in pro-
tected areas and their surroundings were highlighted and the demand for a continued
dialogue and training was formulated by the professionals concerned.
GOAL. The goal of this programme is to support innovative concepts towards linking
biodiversity conservation and the sustainable use of natural resources in a regional con-
text while considering the legitimate interests of local people through the promoting of
participatory planning methods and collaborative management approaches.
PARTNER INSTITUTIONS. The institutions concerned are those who are involved in man-
aging protected areas and their surroundings: Ministries, agencies and non-
governmental organisations in the fields of natural resources and environment, national
parks, wildlife and tourism, and agriculture and forestry. Major partner institutions are
those in Botswana, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Tanzania. However, the programme in-
vites also other governmental or non-governmental institutions and projects in the region
of Southern and Eastern Africa to participate.
INSTRUMENTS. The programme consists of a sequence of dialogue and training meas-
ures. Dialogue aims to address senior staff and decision-makers to share their concepts
and experiences and to learn about new approaches from neighbouring countries and
also from the German or European situation. There are an expert meeting, study tours in
Germany and seminars in Africa scheduled. Training courses and seminars in Germany
and Africa will address mid-level staff, planners, practitioners and junior managers to en-
hance or amend their knowledge and to improve skills.
