Community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) is a compelling
concept that combines community custodianship of natural resources
with sustainable development and poverty reduction. However, there
is a large gap between the conceptual promise and actual
performance of CBNRM. CBNRM is complex and challenging, and one of
the major challenges is what we call micro-governance-how to
replace the ubiquitous problem of elite capture within communities
with genuine participation and equitable benefit sharing. This book
is for people want to understand and implement CBNRM governance
more effectively, including graduate students, scholars and
practitioners. It is targeted most specifically at the
scholar-practitioner who wants to draw upon micro-governance theory
to know why and how to work with communities to implement sound
local institutions. The perspectives and resources presented have
been developed and tested over many years working with CBNRM
communities in southern Africa. The book offers convincing evidence
for preferring participatory democracy over representational forms
of governance, and discusses how to manage the scale paradox that
economies and ecologies are better managed at larger scales, but
that larger representational institutions invariably forfeit
critical public goods like participation and equitable benefit
sharing. The book's purpose is to provide the reader with the
practical tools to operationalize "good governance" at the village
level, in ways that are theoretically sound. It provides the reader
with theoretical insights and practical lessons about
micro-governance in the context of CBNRM, tools for designing and
implementing conceptually rigorous community constitutions that
enable communities to govern themselves fairly and effectively, and
resources for developing the management and monitoring systems
necessary to protect these conditions.
