“…There is a significant literature examining the issue of control over resources and the participation of local people in development that also includes critical perspectives (Cooke and Kothari, 2001). However, there is basic agreement that participatory development seeks to promote human rights, equity, and decision-making at the local level (Dipholo, 2002). In relation to governance over mineral resources, one prominent perspective is that local participation is more likely to contribute to sustainable development than processes imposed from the outside (Bebbington and Bury, 2009;Veiga et al, 2001).…”

Evaluating environmentally sustainable and culturally sensitive approaches to natural resource management issues is a necessary step towards improving livelihoods in rural South Africa. This study assessed the applicability of various agroforestry practices to natural resource management issues in the village of GaMothiba located in the northwestern region of South Africa. Agroforestry assessments were carried out using a community based approach through the application of participatory rural appraisal (PRA) methods. These methods were selected in order to assess the acceptability of agroforestry practices according to the perspective of the local people. The assessment process culminated in a variety of community designed agroforestry interventions. The acceptability of agroforestry practices is largely influenced by the degree of community cohesion, land rights, and cooperation between traditional and municipal authority figures. Understanding the opportunities and constraints of agroforestry adoption in rural sub-Saharan Africa furthers the movement towards community based natural resource management and ultimately a more sustainable approach to rural development.
