book HTML
brings together a set of clearly written action research studies.
Both researchers and practitioners concerned with rural development
will find the book to be a valuable source of lessons and
inspiration.
The
book synthesizes results from a 7-year program of
applied research on community-based approaches to natural
resource management in Asia. The 11 case studies
featured illustrate how local innovations in participatory
natural resource management can strengthen livelihoods, build
capacity for local governance, and spark policy change.
The
book provides practitioners with models of “good practice”
in participatory, community-based resource management and
demonstrates how site-based research contributes to broader
learning in the field of natural resource management and policy.
In addition to its uses for practitioners, this book will
also be a valuable resource for graduate students in development
studies and for applied researchers in government or private
research organizations interested in development programs
and policy analysis.
