Governance for Conservatin and Poverty Reduction
An assessment of Natural Resource Governance in Garba Tula, Northern Kenya

Resource information

Date of publication
January 2011

IUCN’s work in Garba Tula (GT) through this project has now been underway for almost two years, and to date a number of activities have been implemented in the area. This has included: sensitization and awareness raising of local community members; providing support to help strengthen the operations of the Resource Advocacy Programme (RAP – a local NGO working in the Garba Tula area); and supporting work carried out by RAP members to document traditional institutions and strategies for governing natural resources in the Garba Tula area. The results of the assessment presented in this document build on this previous work in the area, and aim to establish baseline information on existing natural resource governance arrangements in Garba Tula, and to identify how these governance mechanisms can best be improved. This work is intended to contribute to the ultimate aim of the overall project that focuses on improving the sustainable use and conservation of natural resources, and strengthening the resilience of livelihoods that directly depend on natural resources.
