Summary
This report summarises contemporary African experience with assessment of management effectiveness, drawing on a range of case studies (in South Africa, Congo Basin, Cote D'Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria and Central Africa), including outputs from a workshop organised by WWF and the World Bank in Kribi, Cameroon in June 2002 and subsequent assessments. The paper also provides a section on strategies for improving protected area management in Africa. The authors argue that an ecologically representative network of effectively managed protected areas will make an essential contribution to sustainable development in Africa, maintaining biodiversity, environmental services and human well-being.
