From the paper:

"With the help of the World Wildlife Fund, The Nature Conservancy and Integrated Rural Development, the Nyae Nyae have also managed to establish an area of land where communities have control over natural resource management (Hitchcock & Beisele, 2002). Community based natural resource management is one of the most important aspects of development for the San. By controlling access to natural resources, the San can ensure their survival. Accomplishments such as those of the Nyae Nyae are to be applauded, and looked to for models of how to achieve autonomy. To make this kind of development possible however, communities need skills in management, administration, and finance. Fortunately several NGOs have been able to provide this for some of the San (Hitchcock, 2002)."
