This research note sums up some of the main points from an MA dissertation, based on material and experiences gathered during a period when she worked as Community-based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) Programme Officer for Kuru Development Trust in Ghanzi (1998-2000). Since this is not fieldwork research, the main methodology of the thesis is the use and review of secondary data. Information has been gathered mainly from publications on CBNRM national conferences and workshops held over the past five years in Botswana, from IUCN and SNV publications and websites, from Government of Botswana policy papers and publications, and from general literature on CBNRM.
