Toward a Coordinated Approach to Natural Resource Management in Africa

Hanson, Kobena T.; Owusu, Francis; D’Alessandro, Cristina

Pages: 1 –14

[Natural resource endowments can spur development in African countries, if managed appropriately. That said, resource exploitation does not automatically translate into meaningful development. Indeed, poor growth rates, high inequality, social exclusion, impoverishment, poor governance,...

The Status of Natural Resource Management in Africa: Capacity Development Challenges and Opportunities

Ayee, Joseph

Pages: 15 –38

[Africa’s 56 countries are endowed with both renewable (water, land, forest, fish) and nonrenewable or depletable (minerals, metals, oil) natural resources that may be discovered, remain undiscovered, or barely harnessed. The continent contains more than half the world’s resources of cobalt,...

Governance of Natural Resource Management in Africa: Contemporary Perspectives

Arthur, Peter

Pages: 39 –65

[With escalating energy and raw material demands from the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) countries and increasing commodity prices in the world market, there is now renewed global interest in minerals and natural resources throughout Africa (Maconachie 2009: 73). While the control of...

Criminality in the Natural Resource Management Value/Supply Chain

Ismail, Olawale; Okeke, Jide Martyns

Pages: 66 –90

[Since the beginning of the 1990s, African development and political security research and policy discourse has been dominated by issues of natural resource endowments, extraction, and receipts and the range of actors and processes involved, often unpacked as the natural resource “value chain.”...
Available

Structured Transformation and Natural Resources Management in Africa

Moseley, William G.

Pages: 91 –117

[Despite a dip during the global economic recession, many African nations continue to ride a natural resource and commodity export-driven economic boom. A critical question for these countries is whether this boom is somehow different than those of the past, which all faded with time. Some have...

Strategic Capacity-Building Imperatives Vital for Transboundary Water Cooperation in Africa

Chikozho, Claudious

Pages: 118 –139

[Several of the 55 transboundary river basins in Africa are shared by ten or more countries and this makes transboundary river basin management (TRBM) in the continent quite complex (Sadoff et al. 2002; UNECA 2006). But the arbitrary subdivision of landscapes into new countries during colonialism...

The Gas and Oil Sector in Ghana: The Role of Civil Society and the Capacity Needs for Effective Environmental Governance

D’Alessandro, Cristina; Hanson, Kobena T.; Owusu, Francis

Pages: 140 –161

[The budding commercial exploitation of oil in Ghana has simultaneously raised expectations and concerns in this African nation, widely considered by donors as a “model country,” given its successes in democratic governance and good economic performance despite its internal regional disparities...
Available

The Capacity Question, Leadership, and Strategic Choices: Environmental Sustainability and Natural Resources Management in Africa

Puplampu, Korbla P.

Pages: 162 –184

[Africa has abundant natural resources, and their effective utilization is essential in enhancing the region’s development conditions in the 21st century (NEPAD 2003; UNDP 2003). At the global level, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) include a specific goal (MDG 7) focused on environmental...

Debating Critical Issues of Green Growth and Energy in Africa: Thinking beyond Our Lifetimes

Kedir, Abbi M.

Pages: 185 –205

[From the 1960s through the 1990s, vested interests from major polluting nations and industries kept environmental movements at bay and undermined their influence in development thinking. In recent years, ecologists, some development economists, and environmental economists challenged mainstream...
Available

Moving Africa beyond the Resource Curse: Defining the “Good-Fit” Approach Imperative in Natural Resource Management and Identifying the Capacity Needs

Owusu, Francis; D’Alessandro, Cristina; Hanson, Kobena T.

Pages: 206 –225

[“Resource curse”—a paradoxical situation in which countries with an abundance of nonrenewable resources experience stagnant growth or even economic contraction—has become an important cautionary concept in discussing potential scenarios for the recent natural resource-led development efforts in...
