Natural Resource Governance

Natural Resource Governance refers to the processes and policies that regulate how a country’s natural resources, like water, minerals, and forests, are managed and distributed. It involves ensuring that these resources are used sustainably, fairly, and transparently, balancing economic development with environmental protection and social equity. Good governance promotes accountability, public participation, and the rule of law, helping to prevent corruption and conflict over resources. Ultimately, effective natural resource governance aims to benefit both current and future generations while supporting community well-being and preserving ecosystems.
