The panel was sponsored by the CGIAR System-Wide Programon Property Rights and Collective Action and all of the presenters were affiliated with thatprogram. 1 The overarching goal of this program is to contribute to policies and practices thatalleviate rural poverty by analyzing and disseminating knowledge on the ways that propertyrights and collective action institutions influence the efficiency, equity and sustainability ofnatural resource use.The program stresses comparative research to yield international public goods. The conceptual framework that guides and provides focus to the Program deals explicitly with theeffects of different biophysical, socio-economic and policy factors on the operation andoutcomes of property rights and collective action institutions. Insight into those factors andtheir effects is obtained through comparisons that cut across countries, ecoregions and resources.
