Specialization
Environmental governance, forests, climate change, community-based natural resource management, conservation and sustainable development, Africa.
Research Interests and Areas of Expertise
I am interested in local institutions and the role played by communities and civil society groups in management of common pool resources, and how these link with other actors in multi-level governance systems, in the context of changing policy and a changing climate.
Ongoing Projects
Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR): Congo Basin Forests and Climate Change Adaptation (CoFCCA).
World Vision International: Study of integration of climate change in sustainable development programming.
