| Question | Within this governance system, do larger governmental and/or non-governmental organizations actively support (e.g. through the supply of physical or financial resources, information) lower level jurisdictions (States, Regions, Cities)? (Please clarify in the description who is providing the funding and how secure that funding is) |
| Select Options | 1 No support, 2 Some support, 3 Extensive support |
| Unit | |
| Role | |
| Importance | External support from a governmental agency can greatly aid in the ability of local commons users to overcome some comparative disadvantages of local, community-based governance (such as a lack of scientific information). On the other hand, such support can also crowd out the motivations of local users to self-organize and act collectively. |
| Definition | Support can take many forms, such as the offering of material assistance, intangible resources such as scientific expertise or environmental information. No support: Higher level organizations involved provide no support to lower level jurisdictions. Some support: Higher level organizations involved provide moderate or sporadic levels of support to communities. Extensive support : Higher level organizations involved provide extensive, ongoing support. |

There is likely on-going support because it is a high profile area, but the level of funding is not secure. |
