Abstract

This concluding chapter explores the evolving interface between national development policies and local institutions as they shape the upland environment of the Manupali River watershed in southern Philippines. Four general insights for policy and institutional design are discussed: (1) better accountability requires genuine decentralization; (2) addressing the externality problem requires watershed-based institutions and policies; (3) market-based mechanisms can potentially support sustainable resource management; and (4) new institutional arrangements require innovative approaches to regulation.
