Overview
"Measuring success: Towards a Development
Effectiveness Toolkit for Transboundary Conservation
Areas in southern Africa"
This IDRC-funded paper, published
in IUCN's Regional Office for Southern Africa's
Transboundary Natural Resource Management Series,
aims to develop a methodology and a practical
toolkit to assist transboundary conservation area
(TBCA) managers and decision-makers evaluate the
development effectiveness of specific TBCAs -
and TBCAs in general - and to provide valuable
policy input into decision-making on a national
and regional level.
The Toolkit, which incorporates
the recommendations of practitioners from a series
of workshops, focuses on five outcomes and suggests
indicators for progress towards each outcome.
The outcomes are:
 |
Improved
local and regional livelihoods |
|
Enhanced capacity
for conservation |
|
Positive contribution
to stability, peace and security |
|
Long-term sustainability
of the TBCA |
|
Positive contribution
to regional economic development, taking into
account external factors |
The Toolkit presented is intended
to be a work-in-progress, or rather the first
step towards developing a practical, user-friendly
toolkit for practitioners.
