| dc.description | This study examines governance, collective identity, and resilience within Namibia’s Community-Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) framework, focusing on the Doro !Nawas Conservancy. Namibia’s conservancy system—internationally recognised for devolving resource management rights to local communities—faces diverse challenges linked to governance capacity, leadership turnover, and uneven opportunities for income generation. Using a social‑ecological systems perspective, the study explores how collective identity influences collective action and the long‑term resilience of conservancies as common pool resource (CPR) management institutions. It investigates how identification and affective commitment among conservancy members evolve over time, how they shape participation and governance, and how these dynamics impact the conservancy’s ability to sustainably manage wildlife, forestry, water, and other natural resources. Findings contribute to broader understanding of CBNRM effectiveness, governance strengthening, and resilience-building in communal resource management systems. | en_US |
