Summary
Zimbabwe’s CAMPFIRE program was developed to sustainably manage natural resources while providing benefits for local populations. The program has however faced governance challenges including the failure to devolve rights and responsibilities to communities. To address these challenges community representatives formed a national body called Community CAMPFIRE Association of Zimbabwe. This project seeks to address the capability and capacity needs of this body and of local community institutions, including knowledge on natural resource governance, effective leadership and communication with their constituencies.
