Issues and challenges of forest governance in Madagascar

Abstract Co-management of forests was initiated in Madagascar in the 1990s, raising hopes for protecting biodiversity and improving community livelihoods. This paper addresses the limitations experienced in the co-management process in terms of efficiency and governance. Identified issues include confusion about the accountability of local actors, transparency in local fund management, insecure land tenure and limited participation of local people in planning.
