Where are you: Home  Publications Working Papers Forest Management Institutional Collaboration and Shared Learning for Forest Management in This paper examines processes of collaboration among institutions for communal woodland mangement at the local level in Zimbabwe and explores how these processes influence sustainable recource utilisation. I discuss how institutions adapt to changing social and environmental conditions. Based on case study evidence, I argue that community-based natural resource management works best in a context of institutional collaboration and shared learning. I identify three requirements for collaboration: the need for effective facilitation of experimental learning, equal power in the learning process and the willingness to engage in a multi-stage process that can be costly.
