1. ESP’S WATERSHED MANAGEMENT FIELD SCHOOLS AND SCALING-UP ESP’s Watershed Management and Biodiversity component bridges the critical connection between healthy ecosystems and the basic health and hygiene goals of ESP by supporting conservation management of forest areas of high biodiversity value while at the same time working to stabilize and improve the supply of raw water to urban and peri-urban areas. This is achieved through promoting a landscape approach to improved land stewardship that integrates conservation of natural forests with high biodiversity value; restoring and rehabilitating degraded forests and critical lands; and supporting sustainable utilization of agricultural lands. Achieving ESP’s targeted outcomes requires the mobilization of a significant number of people and communities that need to be enabled through training to plan, organize, and implement community-based initiatives in watershed management. Initially this was achieved through ESP’s Sustainable Livelihoods Assessment (SLA) process. While this has resulted in a number of community networks working on sustainable WSM activities in all ESP High Priority Provinces, the SLA approach needs to be modified in order to reach significantly larger numbers of people, communities and community groups. Learning and evolving from the SLA work, ESP is developing a new training approach to mobilize these larger numbers through ESP Watershed Management Field Schools.
1.1. THE WATERSHED MANAGEMENT FIELD SCHOOL The primary goal of the Watershed Management Field School (WSM FS) is to develop and commence implementation of a community-based watershed management plan and action plan. The WSM FS is the leading force in ramping up the scale of the WSM component’s field activities. A Field School brings together watershed community members to learn about water ecology and the symbiotic relationship between water ecology and their livelihoods. WSM FS participants learn how to: 1. collect and analyze information, and make decisions to improve and stabilize their water environment in a manner that contributes to their overall livelihoods; 2. organize themselves and other community groups; 3. develop action plans; 4. negotiate with community, government and private sector organizations to achieve more sustainable water resources management; 5. apply technical skills in land rehabilitation (tree planting, agro forestry, sustainable farming practices), biodiversity conservation, community-based clean water and sanitation systems management, and health and hygiene; and 6. monitor their activities, water quality and evaluate the results of the activities.
ESP’S WATER SHEED MENAGEMENT FIELD SCHOOLS AND SCALING-UP
A Field School will start with a broad, global look at watershed management and water ecology, and then focus in on specific actions a community can engage in to achieve meaningful impact towards sustainable water resources management and enhanced livelihoods development. The WMFS is planned to last for 16 meetings. These meetings will for the most part be held on a weekly basis, but initial meetings may be held more frequently and later meetings may be held bi-weekly. These intervals will depend on topics and other local conditions. The initial meetings will develop a Sustainable Livelihoods Assessment (SLA) and later will develop plans for actions related to issues identified in the SLA plus a watershed management and action plan.

1.2. THE ESP WSM FIELD SCHOOL TRAINING OF TRAINERS To establish and facilitate Field Schools will require trained facilitators. Starting around mid-June, a Training of Trainers (ToT) will be conducted over a 10 – 12 week period in Saree Aceh, NAD to achieve this. Participants in this ToT will not only acquire a basic set of skills that will enable them to facilitate WSM FSs, but also to assist in the implementation of the general WSM program in a given region. They will acquire the enthusiasm to carry them through the hard work before them, and the philosophical perspective that will guarantee the empowerment of communities to lead their own watershed management programs. There will be three general areas which the ToT learning program will cover: 1. General facilitation skills based on adult and non-formal education. These skills will include those necessary to empower communities to understand their relationship with water ecology and to improve this relationship in a manner that broadly builds sustainable livelihoods. In particular, those skills related to community organizing, conflict management and negotiation will be highlighted. 2. General technical principles of watershed management. The principles related to water ecology, land rehabilitation, agro-forestry, and biodiversity conservation will form the foundation of the ToT. Principles related to sustainable agricultural practices, community-based clean water and sanitation systems, health and hygiene related to clean water; and monitoring and evaluation will be driving forces of the ToT. 3. Field School facilitation skills. These include an understanding of processes to establish, implement and support a WSMS that will lead to measurable results in terms of improved water resources management and enhanced community livelihoods. They will help to stimulate on-going community driven actions and lead to community-driven expansion of the WSMFS approach to neighboring communities. The ToT will be field-based and include the implementation of four to five WSM FSs which will be conducted in parallel with the ToT by small groups of participants. This will provide participants with hands on experience in Field School implementation. The core training staff of the ToT will consist of four trainers who each have over 10 years experience in conducting Field Schools, and managing ToTs in Indonesia and around the globe. Additionally, ESP team members will be drawn on to make contributions to the ToT based upon their technical knowledge and experience. There will be a workshop including the ToT core trainers, WSM and SD team members, and regional advisors to consolidate the final ToT and FS design during May. The workshop will not only develop an overall shared vision for the WSM FS and ToT, but also involve WSM and SD people in the development and finalization of ToT curriculum and materials. To guarantee the quality of WSM FS implementation in each region, a post-ToT mentoring program is planned. This will extend for at least three months beginning in October over 2006 and in parallel with the first season of the WSMFS program implementation. Mentors will be drawn from the ToT core trainers. This mentoring program might be considered a continuation of the ToT.

1.3. THE VISION At present staffing levels, each region would be able to implement a few WSMFS per year. Adding field assistants to our teams increases our capacity to implement dozens of WSMFS per year per region. This would allow us a linear expansion in which we could end by touching the lives of several thousand community members in each of our regions. If, for example, a given province has four field assistants who attend the ToT and who return home to begin implementing, for example, four WSMFS each in October, 2006 and who continue to do four field schools each every four months until project end you get the following. 2007

However, besides probably killing most of our field assistants in this linear expansion, we will be ignoring a most important asset that we have created. Experience shows that Field Schools generate a great deal of enthusiasm amongst participants. They will want to help others to learn and do the same things that they can do. Some will go to the point of conducting training for their neighbors. If community based WSM programs with interlinked forums spreading out to form networks of watershed forums effecting policy, protecting water resources, and rehabilitating land and forests is a goal, then harnessing this enthusiasm and capacity is a must. To achieve this it is critical that WSM FS alumni be trained to train others and provide local leadership for our WSM efforts. If we were to take two alumni per WSM FS from each of the field schools conducted in 2007, train them as facilitators and then let them conduct one WSMFS per two alumni until May of 2009 we could expand and enhance our community based programming. By continuing to train WSMFS alumni as trainers and leaders, we can effectively and efficiently reach our existing targets. The following shows a scenario, in numbers of people trained, that breaks free from a simple linear expansion of effort into a multi-faceted program. WSMFS are field assistant led Field Schools, WSM FS 2 are led by first year alumni, and WSMFS3 are led by second year alumni. In this second scenario, our field assistants move from only conducting WSM FS to becoming managers of community based WSM programs and an integral part of our WSM teams. 2007

2. SELECTING CANDIDATES FOR ESP WSM TOT COURSE APRIL 2006 In order to build necessary human resources and capacity to ramp-up effective watershed management work, ESP is developing a ten-week Training of Trainers (TOT) for Watershed Management Field School (FS) Facilitation. This will be an intensive, 10-12 week residential course, where trainees will work very hard and learn quite a lot in technical issues and principles related to watershed management as well as facilitation and communication skills necessary to manage effective FSs. This TOT is currently scheduled to start in mid to late June, and to run through the end of August, and is likely to take place in Saree Aceh, Aceh. Each High Priority Province is encouraged to select four to six candidates to participate in the upcoming TOT for WSM. You can select existing or new Field Assistants for this work, and you can also consider inviting field staff from partner organizations. If you select field staff from partner organizations, please be sure these field staff and their organizations are able to make a significant commitment to the implementation of WSM FSs after the TOT. This is a significant investment from ESP, and we need to be certain TOT participants are able to facilitate FSs effectively at least through the life of the program. You ought to consider identifying participants that work in areas where you are currently working as well as areas where you plan to expand into in the future. Finally, you ought to prioritize the recruitment of women. ESP’s WSM Team is woefully lacking in gender balance. Please strive to recruit 50% or more women for this important initiaitive. Regional Advisors, Watershed Management Specialists and Agroforestry Specialists understand your local operating environment, human resources and technical needs the best, therefore you are given the responsibility to select who you consider to be the most appropriate candidates. The TOT design staff, though, do offer some criteria for you to consider as you embark on the selection process. Considerations for Recruitment 1. Qualities of ideal candidates: 2. Comes from the area where ESP is or will be working in – and will also be willing to relocate. 3. Strong team-player, able to work with the existing ESP Team and ESP field partners. 4. Enthusiastic, confident and committed to working with rural communities. 5.
