Social capital outcomes and sustainability of natural resource management lower level policies in kabale district, south western uganda

The document discusses lower-level natural resource management (NRM) policies in Rubaya Sub-County, Kabale District, Uganda. It finds that: 1) Six bylaws were formulated and approved to promote agroforestry, trenches, and controlled grazing. This strengthened social capital and increased participation in NRM. 2) Positive outcomes included increased yields, reduced erosion, and improved information sharing. However, some negative outcomes also occurred like violations of bylaws from high costs and lack of support. 3) Sustainability of these policies relies on strong leadership from policy task forces (PTFs) and partnerships between communities and organizations to continue support for NRM.
