2002
This publication summarises the presentations, discussions, and findings of the First National Workshop on Participatory Forest Management: Implications for Policy and Human Resource Development in the Mountain Areas of Myanmar, held in Yezin, Myanmar in December 2000. The workshop was attended by foresters at all stages of their career, representatives of forest user groups, representatives of various institutions involved in PFM in Myanmar, and resource persons from Nepal, India, and China, who shared experiences of community forestry in their own countries. Workshop participants identified the factors for successful participatory forest management in general and within the mountain areas of Myanmar in particular. The points raised by the various speakers and the findings of the group discussions are summarised briefly. The findings are summarised in the form of action points to be taken up and implemented by the relevant authorities. They will provide the reader with general information about the problems and successes encountered with community forestry in the region, the present situation in Myanmar, and the suggested way forward.
