Do community conservancies contribute to an increase in household welfare? Are such programmes pro-poor; that is, do they improve welfare more for poorer households than for the less poor? Does participation in conservancy increase household welfare more for participants than non-participants? This study bases the analyses on a 2002 survey covering seven conservancies and 1192 households. The results suggest that community conservancies have a positive impact on household welfare. The authors also conclude that this impact is poverty-neutral in some regions and pro-poor in others. Further, welfare benefits from conservancies appear to be fairly evenly distributed between participant and non-participant households. 2012-03-30T07:30:40Z 2012-03-30T07:30:40Z 2009 Journal Article Development Southern Africa 0376835X http://hdl.handle.net/10986/4977 EN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Journal Article Namibia
