LOCAL GOVERNANCE AND PARTICIPATORY NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT: USAID’S GOLD PROJECT IN THE PHILIPPINES
Major authorities and responsibilities for agricultural extension and environmental planning, monitoring and management have been devolved to local governments in the Philippines under recent decentralization legislation. Such legislation has placed substantial decisions in the hands of local governing institutions with high levels of citizen participation. This is a major departure from more conventional resource management systems premised on macro policy-based “command/control” formulas applied by central agencies that typically optimize technical solutions and minimize - or altogether bypass – formal local governing institutions.
