It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend the Routledge Handbook of Natural Resource Governance in Africa. This book is a comprehensive and groundbreaking work. It offers an in-depth exploration of the multifaceted aspects of natural resource governance in the African context. The diverse range of expert authors contributes to an an in-depth and comprehensive analysis, making it an indispensable and rich resource for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities and nuances of resource management in Africa. The handbook's balanced blend of theoretical insights and practical case studies provides a unique perspective that is both academically rigorous and highly relevant to practitioners and policymakers. It is a must-read for those committed to fostering sustainable and equitable natural resource governance in Africa.Dr. Frannie Léautier, Senior Partner and CEO, SouthBridge
