Abstract
Natural resource governance fragmentation across scales can inhibit coordinated action
and reduce innovation capacity. The presence of bridging actors who connect relevant
stakeholder inside governance networks can aid in the resolution of this problem. In this
regard, community organization is crucial for effective resource governance. Within the
framework of community-based approaches, and using a case study, this study explores
the use of a hybrid institution to organize resource governance in Mfuto village in
Momba district, Tanzania. The authors use hierarchical and co-governance modes of
interactive governance theory to guide the process of data analysis. By applying content
and thematic analyses, our observation suggests that building the capacity of the
institution and linking it to the wider range of stakeholders are essential steps towards
the attainment of anticipated outcomes. Following this, the study highlights four salient
steps of an inverted pyramid model (IPM) and are derived from the resource governance
initiatives. The study’s implications and limitations as well as future research directions
are presented in the concluding section of the study.
