Securing local resource rights in Africa: can the law support poor people?
In the last ten years, legal reforms in some African countries have given local people more secure rights over natural resources. But gaps and loopholes (ways to evade rules) limit the potential benefits of these reforms. More importantly, many people are unaware of their rights, or lack the knowledge or means to enforce them.

India’s Krishna River Basin covers three states and the river is used by 70 million people. This presents considerable challenges for managing water use. The overuse of water has led to water shortages in some areas, especially during droughts, and conflicts between states. How can such a vast water resource be managed effectively?
