Making Good Local Governance Grow

"Making Good Governance Grow" presents experiences of participatory natural resource management based on four case studies from Helvetas projects in Bhutan, Guatemala, Mali and the Dominican Republic. The approach considers how to involve the local population in the sustainable management and sharing of natural resources benefits. Intrinsic to the project aims are the improvement of ''grassroots'' participation, the promotion of gender equity, and the development of sustainable livelihoods for disadvantaged groups through actual practice within the process.
