The rising trends of conflicts and disaster occurrences around the extractive industry in Zimbabwe has led to extensive efforts by the government in putting into place essential frameworks of good governance and disaster risk reduction. The essential frameworks of natural resource governance are consistent with the UNDP’s Sustainable Development Goals and the United Nations’ Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015–2030) whose thrust is to prioritise strengthening of disaster risk reduction governance and economic disaster preparedness. Given that resource governance is a prime function of the State, often characterised by hierarchical involvement of several stakeholders, it is pertinent to interrogate the concept and frameworks of natural resource governance and how it is of strategic value to both disaster risk reduction and national development in Zimbabwe. Whilst governance is often cast as encompassing the legislative frameworks, institutional and structural engagement; natural resource governance is even a more critical aspect of governance warranting scholarly attention. Using qualitative research method, and drawing lessons from past experiences, this chapter is poised to examine resource governance within the context of disaster risk management in Zimbabwe. The need to prioritise strengthening natural resource governance policies, frameworks and institutions in order to enable greater community beneficiation from its resource wealth is glaring.
