Institutionalizing Environmental
Mechanisms in Africa

Clement Dorm-Adzobu

More than 30 sub-Saharan African Countries have initiated some process for environmental management at the national level. But despite good intentions, many of these arrangements are not producing desired results. At fault are inadequate capacity, institutional rivalries, inefficient or inappropriate regulatory practices, failure to involve local-level institutions, and other reasons. This analysis pinpoints crucial components for building an effective institutional framework for environmental management. The author concludes with an "implementation agenda" that offers concrete guidance for developing appropriate institutional structures to meet African nations' unique environmental needs.
