Governance systems influence how societies and economies progress and prosper. It defines the ground rules for interaction between government, civil society, and the private sector. Although the relations between governace and environmental issues are complex and difficult to generalize, evidence incrasingly suggests links between democratic governance and sound natural resource management. This paper concludes with some suggestions for donor agencies and NGOs on how to capitalize on these linkages and thus increase the effective use and impact or of their resources.
