Natural resources governance
The multiplicity of demands towards natural resources is sometimes conflicting. Continuous and inclusive negotiation between multiple stakeholders is inevitable to find acceptable and sustainable ways to manage resources. This requires stakeholders’ participation with clear roles and responsibilities, a resource tenure that welcomes devolution of responsibilities in natural resource management and capable local resource users and managers who ensure equity in access and sustainability in management. This can become a reality with a committed and consistent support and by recognizing that governing natural resources has a complex human face, not only simply biological. IC for many years has been implementing NRM related programmes and projects. Several years of experiences enabled the organization and its partners to capitalize on the on-going debate and demands regarding governance of natural resources

Helvetas and Intercooperation merger
On 1st July 2011 – the two organizations merged to become one with a new corporate name “Helvetas Swiss Intercooperation HSI”. Both the organizations have a collective work experience of more than 80 years, hence a rich set of experiences is being merged to pool all the competences for a more effective well-being of people.
Helvetas was founded in 1955 as the first private organisation for development co-operation in Switzerland. Helvetas is a denominationally and politically independent association, supported by approximately 38,000 members, more than 40,000 sponsors and 15 regional volunteer groups. With 18 partner countries, Helvetas currently operates in Africa, Asia – including Central Asia and the Caucasus – and Latin America.
In case of Pakistan, the merger initially arrives with a change of name since Helvetas is not presently working in the country. The organization will enrich itself for combining its forces against poverty and or gaining more competences.
