| dc.description | This socio‑economic summary examines community attitudes, livelihood patterns, and levels of participation in the emerging Impalila Island Conservancy. The findings show strong community awareness and support for establishing the conservancy, despite initial challenges with membership registration. Livelihoods on the island rely primarily on private employment, self‑employment, and subsistence agriculture, with high household dependence on natural resources such as firewood, building poles, fish, reeds, and papyrus. Community members expect benefits such as employment opportunities and compensation for crop losses. The study also highlights active participation by women, strong support from traditional authorities, and varying perceptions on how the conservancy may affect grazing, crop farming, and resource harvesting. Overall, the results reflect a community that is informed, highly supportive, and prepared to formalize local natural resource governance through the conservancy model. | en_US |
