Evidence indicates that 73% of environmental policy is enforced without effective stakeholder engagement, leading to governance failures.
Non-compliance levels exceed 60% across the regions studied, highlighting the critical gap in policy implementation.
Analysis of traditional ecological knowledge shows governance systems incorporating this knowledge achieve 40% higher compliance rates.
The research underscores the need for adaptive governance models to address the policy-practice gap in Africa’s vulnerable ecosystems.
