Review of Community Forestry and Community Fisheries in Cambodia: Report prepared for the Natural Resource Management and Livelihoods Programme
A useful look at two of the most important types of CBNRM in Cambodia. Recommendations are included in the areas of: ensuring that potential benefits are secured at the local level, building effective governance of CBNRM institutions, promoting pro-poor policy, adding value to natural resources through commercialization, and supporting institutional development and coordination. On Cambodia’s experiment with CBNRM in the fisheries sector, see also Blake D. Ratner. 2006. Community Management by Decree? Lessons From Cambodia’s Fisheries Reform. Society and Natural Resources, Vol. 19:p. 79–86
