MANAGEMENT FIELD
SCHOOLS AND SCALING-UP
ESPs 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 ESPs 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 ESPs 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 components
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.
ESPS 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 2008 2009

Participants 400 400 400 400 400 400 400 400 400 3600

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.

ESPs WSM FS, as supported by the upcoming ToT, significantly ramps-up ESP capacity to
achieve WSM targets and outcomes by empowering local communities to take the lead on
land rehabilitation and biodiversity conservation in a way that contributes to their enhanced
livelihoods. WSM FSs also support the establishment of robust community networks that
can play active, leadership roles in multi-stakeholder WSM planning and implementation in all
High Priority Provinces.

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. ESPs 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.
