Tenure security, environment and economic development on the Wild Coast (1997–2000)

This project investigated a key policy issue: how to reconcile rural development, land tenure reform, environmental conservation and private sector investment within an overall framework which harnesses profit-making activities to transform poverty-stricken rural areas. This project was carried out in three sites along the Wild Coast of the Eastern Cape, where private developers are encouraged to invest in ecotourism. Research report no. 8
