“…However, the queried experts and stakeholders provided highly relevant answers to address specific local requirements. Similarly, Hattingh et al [65] emphasize the relevance of research using a balanced set of research questions on the different dimensions of ecosystem and water resource governance. Siyambalapitiya et al [66] conclude in their study into green growth in Asia that poorly implemented governance has a detrimental effect on the economy in the end.…”

Good Governance: A Framework for Implementing Sustainable Land Management, Applied to an Agricultural Case in Northeast-Brazil

et al. 2019

Land management needs to cope with persistent environmental and societal changes. This requires functional governance systems. The purpose of this research is to develop a good governance framework for the implementation of sustainable land management. Good governance theory is extensive, although its operationalization remains difficult. We derived a set of good governance attributes from the literature: (i) the functionality of the regulatory framework, (ii) the legitimacy and accountability of the actors, (iii) the fairness and transparency of the decision-making processes, and (iv) quality control and adaptiveness. These constitute a framework which, supported by guiding questions, facilitates the evaluation of governance attributes to assess sustainable land management practices. We applied the scheme to a case study in Northeast Brazil regarding sustainable land management where biological pest control is considered to be a biodiversity-related ecosystem service. Since its adoption often falls short of expectations, we scrutinized its governance system. First, experts answered our guiding questions, and second, we involved local stakeholders in the discussion of good governance attributes through the participatory approach of constellation analysis. Trust in agricultural consultants and issues of the practical application of pest control turned out to be crucial. The workshop participants requested a model farm to build more trust and experience. There was considerable demand for policy at the national planning level to formulate and monitor the content of the agricultural advisory program. Our conceptualized framework of good governance questions provides systematization for planning and steering the implementation of sustainable land management practices.

“…The The trialog model is not farfetched from the better known public-private-partnership (PPP) concept which emphasizes the relationship between government and non-governmental organizations [55,61]. The main difference between PPP and trialog model, however, is that the trialog model emphasizes the role and importance of a third party (science) in the partnership [58,59]. Trialog model also emphasizes the importance of public perception as well as the promotion of democratic principles among the three parties [60] (pp.…”

Abstract:The study reviewed developmental challenges confronting African countries with specific reference to the availability of potable water, sanitation, energy, water and ambient air. It showed the conflict between the need to exploit environmental capital in order to keep up with the pace of human development activities and the need to utilize resources sustainably. Hitherto, the cost of this development has been at the expense of public health and cleaner environment. The outcome demonstrates the need for a change of approach in the way and manner that environmental resources are exploited for developmental purposes. Two concepts for addressing these problems were discussed. These are the "soft path" approach and the trialog model. The former places high priority on the proper use and management of existing infrastructure or resources rather than acquisition or exploitation of more infrastructure or resources. The latter concept addresses the principle of resource governance through the application of an understanding of the complex relationship between the main stakeholders-government, science, and society. Case studies on the practicality of these concepts were also highlighted and discussed.

“…This is most commonly linked to concepts of the state and actively promoted by the World Bank and other funding agencies (Kaufmann et al 2005). Another group of writers see governance as the linkages between key domains or themes in public life, such as government, society and science (Hattingh et al 2007). Yet another group look on governance as the systems put in place to order society's affairs (Goldin et al 2008).…”

The paper compares and contrasts approaches to river basin management in Nigeria and Tanzania. Working from a water governance perspective, the paper discusses the resource base in each catchment, looking separately at both material (physical) and non-material (infrastructural) resources. It then goes on to describe how these resources are drawn on to develop mechanisms for water governance and basin management. Significant changes have taken place in both basins over the recent past and are still continuing. The paper analyses these changes in terms of outcomes for the people in the basins and for ecosystems.
