SAGE and its early contributions to improvements in governance of area-based conservation

This report provides case study research to assess the effectiveness of the SAGE methodology to improve environmental governance of area-based conservation (that is, protected and/or conserved areas (PCAs)).

SAGE, or Site-level Assessment of Governance and Equity, uses a multi-actor process where key actors lead the assessment of governance and equity of conservation efforts, as well as the planning, implementation and monitoring of actions to improve governance.
