Governance
Effective governance, especially of natural resources, is crucial to prevent conflicts related to the environment and ensure sustainable development. Conflicts frequently result from a lack of capacity or from the collapse of governance structures. Building institutional capacity to improve the governance of natural resources is therefore a crucial aspect of promoting environmental peacebuilding. In particular in connection to concerns like land rights, environmental protection, and sustainable livelihoods, it is feasible to foster peace and stability by highlighting the necessity of cooperative governance among conflict parties. As it helps lay a strong basis for sustainable growth and good governance, this strategy may be effective both during and after war.M&E can assist in evaluating the performance of governance processes and pointing out areas that require capacity-building or other interventions. Additionally, M&E may support efforts to ensure that natural resource governance activities are transparent, inclusive, and beneficial to all groups, particularly vulnerable and disadvantaged communities. Therefore, it is crucial to incorporate M&E into the planning and execution of programs for the administration of natural resources.
