Abstract:Two examples of community-based natural resource management from southern Africa are Zimbabwe's Communal Area Management Program for Indigenous Resources (Campfire) and Mozambique's Tchuma Tchato (Chikunda for 'our wealth') programme. The authors analyse these two cases using the threshold-based management framework in order to assess whether it can provide solutions to problems of implementing community-based natural resource management or whether the conditions characterizing many community-based natural resource management sites preclude use of the approach. Key questions concern the appropriate scale and levels of governance for the purposes of resource management; the kind of management required in terms of policy, programme/agency and operation; and the implications for managing revenues from community-based natural resource management within a hierarchical, centralized government structure.
