Participatory Forest Management : Ensuring Equity and Local Governance (525Ko)
This is an English publication prepared for a conference on Participatory Forest Management
held in Addis Ababa in March 2007.
The article attempts to present a practical overview of the management of common property
sylvo-pastoral resources by Local Management Structures (LMS) through an analysis of 5 case
studies in Zinder Region in Niger. The analysis helps illustrate the complex socio-political
environment in which shared management takes place and in doing so, it raises a number of
(what we believe from our experience to be) important elements in ensuring the equitable
inclusion of marginalised and other groups to common property resource management.
