Copy Link
Coordinating organisation: South Asia Institute
Description: This research project aims at identifying and analysing opportunities and constraints to equitable, community-oriented natural resource management in times of conflict transformation and livelihood insecurity from an institutional, actor-oriented perspective. Empirical field work is being conducted in different lagoon fishing communities in Batticaloa district (Eastern Province), linking every-day problems of local resource use to different levels of institutional interaction, both within space and time. It is anticipated to identify suitable mechanisms of natural resource management which positively support conflict transformation while being environmentally sound and sustainable.
