Abstract: The focus of this sub-study is on local governance institutions in relation to natural resource entitlements, use and decision-making on management in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. In this paper, local institutions refer to structures at the community level or local government. The study explores the range of existing local governance institutions per type of renewable resource that is best managed at this level, prevailing local institutions for governing natural resources and trends. Particular attention will be paid to the influence of customary institutions, projects interventions, and democratic decentralization. In all three countries, rural local governments have been put in place following direct elections. The paper ends with a brief discussion of possible ways in which development agencies can support local governance institutions for NRM.
