Abstract

Excerpts from the Author’s Preface: The 1980s saw a vigorous involvement of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in economic, social and environmental facets of development work. This has helped fuel a growing international realization that partnerships and closer cooperation among and between NGOs, governments, international agencies, and other development actors are crucial for promoting environmentally sound and sustainable development. Furthermore, recent international events such as the Tenth World Forestry Congress and the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) have laid a common ground for discussing developmental challenges. These events have also called attention to strengthening the effectiveness of NGO efforts in sustainable development. The Africa Bureau of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), as part of an analysis on its effectiveness in strengthening NGOs engaged in natural resource management activities in Africa, commissioned this literature review. The objective is to provide an overview of NGO activities in the field of natural resource management in Africa and highlight those issues that are of critical importance to enhancing the institutional capacities of these organizations. Apart from the literature abstracts, the report includes 135 bibliographic references that are relevant to the selected theme.
