Today, the use and control of NRM  by traditional institutions are proving less  effective due to their power and authority being  usurped by formal institutions that relegate them as  mere custodians of their traditions and customs.  This results in conflict of roles between  traditional institutions and state structures. This  book argues that central government has often failed  to manage natural resources successfully as rules  established by governments are often in conflict  with the needs and perceived rights of local  residents. In Northern Ghana, there have been  efforts by Civil Society to facilitate communities  to use traditional structures, systems, and  institutions in the management of their natural  resources, which have resulted in some success. This  book concludes that undermining traditional  institutions by not integrating them in formal  institutions result in unsustainable management of  NRM. The book is relevant for policy makers,  professionals, academics, practioners and university  students.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783844306859\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Role of Traditional Institutions in Natural Resource Management in Northern Ghana\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783844306859","offer_id":39470091894877,"sku":"9783844306859","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/0993ea7a-3f9b-4690-a41e-35f99226e3cd.jpg?v=1757912946","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/harnessing-synergies-von-samuel-ziem-bonye","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
