ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a case study of community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) in Mozambique, using the locale of Mahel in southern Mozambique. The chapter first provides a brief overview of the conceptual evolution of CBNRM in Mozambique in the post-civil war (1992–present) period and subsequently explores the linkages and implications of institutional and governance assumptions for CBNRM implementation and effective communal management of natural resources.
