African Development that Works

Peter G. Veit, Adolfo Mascarenhas and Okyeame Ampadu-Agyei

There is ample evidence that Sub-Saharan Africa's natural resource base is undergoing a general continent-wide deterioration. While the causes of this degradation are many and well known, appropriate policy responses are less clear cut. This timely report makes the case for policies and programs that promote local-level natural resource management. Synthesizing various analyses of community resource management, the authors identify key determinants to successful local self-help initiatives. They recommend policy options for African governments and the development-assistance community to foster sustainable development at the local level.
