Sharing governance! : a practical guide for marine protected areas in West Africa

This guide draws inspiration from the impressive volume Sharing Power, published by the IUCN/CEESP and IIED. The guide provides what we hope to be a convenient synthesis of the main phases of a shared-governance process for Marine Protected Areas (MPA) in West Africa. Among the key actors we are hoping to engage are civil servants in charge of managing MPAs, members of concerned communities and local groups and partners involved with MPAs, such as professionals working for environmental, humanitarian or sustainable development projects.
