NATURE, WEALTH, & POWER 2.0: Leveraging Natural and Social Capital for Resilient Development (2013)
This volume is a sequel to the original NATURE, WEALTH, & POWER framework paper ("NWP", or now NWP-1), produced in 2002. That document, although focused on rural Africa, was found useful by a variety of development practitioners around the world, and elicited significant interest from different disciplines and regions from both practical and theoretical perspectives. The world context has changed since 2002, and development theory and practice have also evolved. Therefore, in 2012, USAID initiated an assessment and updating of the NWP framework. This much-expanded second version of the framework (NWP-2), with additional and more detailed case studies from Asia and Brazil in addition to Africa, is targeted at practitioners involved in the design, implementation, and evaluation of natural resource–based rural development activities around the world, trying to make them more equitable, efficient, and effective. We also hope it will be useful to policy makers who are designing policies, laws, and administrative instruments to spur sustainable rural development. It does not claim to be a sure-fire recipe for success, but is an updated framework compiled from and consisting of best practices. Featured January, 2014.
