The Integration of ecosystem service concepts into existing initiatives (PPP in Africa / cross-sectoral policies) course is a teaching unit (UE) of Two (2) credits and is taught for a total 50 hours divided into 20 hours for the course in class and 30 hours of self-study. The ecosystem service approach is based on the premise and promise that more sustainable use of natural resources can be identified through a scientific and social process. But how does one get governments (international, national, local) and the private sector to adopt such practices and then to implement the policy recommendations? This is the challenge of "mainstreaming" or integrating a new idea.
