Community-managed programs in forestry : a synthesis of good practices
Jain, Nihal C.
Community-based approaches have shown an immense potential in preventing environmental degradation and sustainable management of forest and other common property natural resources, particularly where the resource degradation problems are rooted in the loss of control and regulation on the access and use. Many developing countries are gradually adopting community-based forestry programs (CBFP) by incorporating policy changes and modifying the prevalent operational modalities to facilitate community participation. Field implementing units have a critical role in ensuring the success of CBFP in all the potential areas facing resource degradation. This synthesis report focuses on understanding the limitations and suggests ways to improve the functioning of the field implementing unit to improve the CBFP performance. The limitation of field implementing units are discussed in relation to four broad aspects which most affect the success of CBFP -- policy framework, community capacity, institutional limitations, and implementation process.
