Question

wildlife conservation analaysis

Answer 1

This research seeks to examine the ‘new’ sport hunting introduced in Uganda in 2001 as a ‘modern’ form of governance, where managing wildlife is not only the responsibility of the government, but also of non-governmental stakeholders. It therefore aims at bridging the existing theoretical and empirical gaps in the understanding of the use of sport hunting to address the conservation-development divide in the developing world. It will make use of the policy arrangement approach (PAA) and the concept of governance capacity (GC) to help understand the nature of and reasons for change and/or stabilization within the sport hunting policy arrangement. It will therefore be guided by the overall objective; to evaluate the development and implementation of the ‘new’ sport hunting in Uganda.
