Resumen

Kenya, Uganda, mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar are all engaged in modernising and strengthening their protected area institutions, to face the challenges of the next century, Kenya has led the way, with the creation of the Kenya Wildlife Service, while the other countries have important initiatives in the pipeline. An overview of the approaches taken reveals some common themes, for example in favouring greater autonomy, developing business managment capacity, and developing partnerships, especially with local communities. However, there is no standard blueprint and in each case the institutional set-up is being tailored to national needs.
