The involvement of local communities in the management of natural resources is a promising approach in many African countries for combining ecological and socio-economic objectives. Since Namibia’s independence in 1990, the political and legal framework conditions for people living on communal land have changed considerably. Under certain conditions, the rights of disposal over usable natural resources are transferred to them. Directly linked to this are state requirements and the establishment of new institutions.

This study examines the stability of these institutions and seeks to answer the question of whether they are capable of ensuring the sustainable use of pasture, water and wildlife and, ultimately, of meeting the complexity of integrated resource management.
