FFI CGP team took a field trip to the project sites located in Tibetan com-
munities on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in June, 2011. Through this trip, we ob-
served one of the most visible changes with CGP local partners was im-
provement of their capacity of project management and abilities to analyze
problems and design action plans. Local communities actively participated
in meetings and discussions to analyze problems and design feasible action
plans to solve rangeland and livelihood problems within the communities.
This change will be a guarantee for local herders to cope with the various
changes of the rangeland and the influx of modern economy.
CGP team paid a visit to Rari community, Ganzi Prefecture. A series of meetings
were held with our local partners. The visit to Rari community resulted in
development of an action plan with 9 proposed activities.
