Since the late 1980s much donor attention has been focused in Uganda and other African countries (e.g. Kenya and Tanzania) on instituting planning for national systems of Protected Areas (PAs). Early attempts tended to be top-down and ‘expert driven’ with an internal focus on preservation and tourism development to the detriment of the socio-political and economic realities in which PAs are embedded. As this often resulted in unimplemented plans, states and donors started recognizing the failure of top-down approaches and attempted to develop ‘participatory’ planning methods that encourage wider ownership of decision-making. In a case study of a participatory planning process for Queen Elizabeth National Park (QENP) we show that, despite the government attempts to institute participatory PA planning1 , local communities and district governments remained marginalized.
