Abstract:
|
"Community based management of common resources has increasingly been recognized by government agencies in the Lao PDR. Since the late 1980s, government policy on natural resources management has been re-examined as part of a complete and fundamental overhaul of the legislative framework to devolve natural resource management rights and responsibilities to local communities. The new resource management policy and resource tenure related legislation is embedded in broader development principles such as the public sector, improved living standard for the whole population and halting the degradation of natural resources.
"This paper will highlight recent experiences with the implementation of the new national resource management and land use allocation policies, through case studies which reveal the implications for both local and national governments."
