Nature, Wealth, and Power in Africa

This document is about rural development in Africa and lessons learned from more than 20 years of natural resource–based development. Experience demonstrates that programs that integrate nature (environmental management), wealth (economic concerns), and power (good governance) have promising results. The principles laid out in this brief report can serve as a guide to investment in rural Africa. Three case studies are presented for Namibia, Madagascar, and Mali.
