Targeting Natural Resource Corruption

Policymakers, law enforcement, and other stakeholders are encouraged to improve understanding of corruption risks along the supply chain, to better adapt responses to evolving corruption patterns.

In Madagascar, high-level corruption can undermine local efforts to save the island’s threatened ecosystems. Communities need better participation and improved trust in conservation organisations.

Community-based conservation efforts can benefit from examining what constitutes a ‘community’ in a given setting, consider existing land uses, informal institutions, and subgroups of interest, and strengthened benefit-sharing arrangements.
