Abstract: The study aimed to investigate the roles of local-level institutions and institutional structures in woodland and water management in Ward One (1) in Vungu Rural District. Interviews and questionnaires were employed to assess the soundness of the system. The sample size of 97 comprised the local leaders, service ministries, the community and various institutions. The general picture is that there are a multiplicity of institutions and management structures whose interaction patterns are ad-hoc and strategic, but there are no sound practices for policy planning strategies relating to woodland and water resource management. This paper attempts to provide a framework for policy and planning strategies relating to woodland and water resource management in public and private institutions in Ward 1 in Vungu Rural District. There are several institutions and structures in place for woodland and water resources management in Zimbabwe, including government agencies, NGOs, and local communities. The effectiveness of these institutions depends on the level of resources, coordination, and cooperation among stakeholders. There is also the need for effective policies and strategies for conservation and sustainable management of these critical resources. Sustainable natural resource utilization and management can be attained through the cooperation of the various stakeholders. The study recommend an increase in funding and resources for enforcement agencies to effectively implement and enforce laws and regulations governing woodland and water resources management.
