Community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) is a widely implemented conservation intervention that seeks to empower local communities to manage and derive benefits from natural resources. Since the 1980s, CBNRM has proliferated rapidly, particularly in southern Africa, Asia, and South America. Despite the rapid expansion of both community-based interventions and studies examining these interventions, the evidence base describing what works, what doesn’t, and why remains limited. Integrated conservation and development programming, like that implemented by the CARE-WWF Alliance, also lacks systematic evidence about what works, what doesn’t, why and how.
WWF is seeking a motivated intern to analyze data on how community conservation and development efforts in Mozambique (led by the CARE-WWF Alliance) have influenced household well-being. The successful candidate will focus on exploring the food security and wealth impacts of community-managed fisheries, forests and mangrove interventions, using time-series quantitative household surveys (triangulated by qualitative data.)
The key research questions are:
- What impacts have community-managed fisheries, mangroves, and forests had on community food security and wealth?
- How do impacts vary… between female and male-headed households? …and between communities that participated in both CBNRM and development interventions compared with those that participated in one, the other or none?
