management and policy making for a
community as a whole.

concept is often integrated in the
conservation and development projects of
natural resources. Referred to as community-
based natural resources management
(CBNRM), these projects aim to develop a
partnership between wildlife and
communities while generating revenue to
benefit the community as well as its resources

LEVELS OF COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Participation –
Participatory approaches encourage shared
decision-making, cooperation, collaboration, mutual respect,
confidence building and empowerment. Through
incorporating such elements into all levels of developmental
activities, communities, districts and ministries become
more engaged, informed, and responsible for their own
sustainable development. Such an approach builds capacity,
increases learning and strengthens participant ownership of
the constructs and strategies underlying project activities.
