NRSP is a national level NGO working In Pakistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK). The study was conducted to examine the impact of NRSP community based natural resource management in Tehsil Kotli, AJK. A random sample of 120 respondents was drawn from three villages and data were collected through formal survey. The study concluded that NRSP community formation proved an effective strategy in mobilizing local potentials. A significant majority learnt livestock care and vegetable production skills and realized benefits in the form of increased production. However 85% of the respondents who were trained to control soil erosion reported no impact. Credit complexities included lengthy procedure, delay in disbursement and high interest rates have been identified. Key words: NRSP, NGO, Community Organization, Natural Resource Management and AJK
