Improving Economic Accountability when using Decentralised, Collaborative Approaches to Environmental Decisions : Bulletin 2 - Understanding investment planning processes and issues in three Australian NRM regions, October 2008
Australia is at the forefront in pursuing decentralised community-based approaches to environmental governance. These approaches recognise the importance of collaboration among key stakeholders in planning and implementing integrated responses to the complex natural resource problems we face. The ‘regional delivery model’ for public funding of on-ground investments in natural resource management (NRM) exemplifies this new approach to governance.
When the regional delivery model was established, economic evaluation was identified as having a key role to play in keeping regional NRM bodies accountable to investors, communities and other stakeholders. However, economists have struggled in developing methods of economic evaluation that are, firstly, consistent with the reasons for adopting this model, and, secondly, feasible to apply given the resourcing constraints and decision timelines faced by regional bodies. The project seeks accordingly to develop and test a cost-effective method of economic evaluation that is consistent with the rationale of the regional delivery model and other collaborative community-based approaches to environmental governance.
