Community-based management

Community-based management refers to a collaborative approach where local communities take an active role in managing resources, services, or programs that affect their lives. This can include natural resources like forests or fisheries, as well as social services like education or healthcare. By involving community members in decision-making, this approach leverages local knowledge and ensures that management practices are tailored to specific needs and conditions. The goal is to empower communities, enhance sustainability, and improve outcomes by fostering local ownership and responsibility over shared resources.
