Annual Report 2007 TransLinks: Promoting Transformations by Linking Natural Resources, Economic Growth and Governance

The TransLinks project (short for Promoting Transformation: Linking Natural Resources, Economic Growth, and Good Governance) has been funded to explore the relationships among good governance, poverty alleviation, conservation, and the sustainable management of natural resources. In so doing, we will better understand how to achieve conditions and support efforts that mutually reinforce these multiple goals and avoid those conditions that lead to antagonisms among them. The project builds on the Nature, Wealth and Power (NWP) framework that evolved out of the work led by Jon Anderson, then Natural Resource Policy Advisor at EGAT
