Description
GRAF, KIT Its success will depend upon its ability to integrate existing knowledge and experience and achieve synergy between interventions at the local level. The studies initiated by the Groupe de Recherche et Action sur le Foncier (GRAF) and KIT Development Policy and Practice are part of the ongoing analysis of key issues that is a fundamental element of this process.
In the early 1990s, the Government of Burkina Faso committed itself to a national decentralization programme aimed at fundamentally changing the relationship between the State and its citizens and reducing the gap between local people and public services. The decentralization process and its accompanying legislative framework will have a significant impact on natural resource management and profound implications for rural communities, since these resources underpin rural livelihoods and are an important source of income for both central and local government.
This Bulletin focuses on access to land and natural resources, particularly by groups with the least political muscle, and considers the opportunities and risks that rural decentralisation poses for management of these resources at the local level. Going beyond the specifics of the current progress of decentralization in Burkina Faso, the studies in this publication also deal with themes relevant to other West African countries, and reflect upon the role that devolutionary processes play in natural resource management and local economies.
