| description | This book examines the role of cooperatives in the sustainable management and governance of natural resources, drawing on a range of case studies from across Africa. Cooperatives play a pivotal role in natural resource management, especially in the face of a changing climate. Their collaborative nature and focus on sustainability make them effective vehicles for adapting to and mitigating the increasing pressure on natural resources. This role is particularly important in Africa, where millions of livelihoods are dependent on a healthy, functioning natural resources. The proper governance of these valuable natural resources is critical in building resilience. This volume evaluates the potential cooperatives hold in the sustainable management and governance of natural resources, bringing together both theoretical contributions and real-world examples and providing practical guidance and policy recommendations. Drawing on detailed case studies from Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Nigeria and South Africa, chapters examine the roles played by cooperatives involved in the management and governance of water, energy, forests, fisheries and agricultural resources. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, integrating insights from economics, sociology and development studies, the volume showcases how cooperative models can be leveraged to effectively manage natural resources. It situates the African case studies within the wider, global context of the sustainable management and governance of natural resources, addressing key themes of conflict, depletion, and environmental conservation. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of natural resource management, sustainable development, and African studies. |
