NGOs and the Negotiation of the Conservation Frontier in Africa, c. 1960-2003
REFNo: SS2392ES
This research project aims to systematically examine the interactions between conservation NGOs, governments, national park administrators, and rural communities in postcolonial East and Central Africa. In doing so, it contributes to a growing field of studies that critically evaluate the role of NGOs in shaping contemporary Africa. The guiding research questions are as follows: How have NGO funds impacted East and Central African countries, and how was the reorganization of rural spaces and livelihoods negotiated in the name of conservation and/or tourism? How did international conservationists engage with the states and people on whose territory the nature they sought to protect was located? Furthermore, how did the resistance that emerged from such reorganizations influence global conservation paradigms?
