Specifically, the project seeks to influence the national and international policy dialogues related to community-based forest management (CBFM) and REDD+.
The project seeks to understand whether the concept of environmental services and the practices associated with it address both the global public good as well as the wellbeing of those who are entrusted to ensure its provision. Two major activities will be involved in the project: i) a study of how the social field of payment for ecosystem services is constructed at the local level and the social and cultural impacts it has on the communities who are the targets/beneficiaries of the schemes; ii) investigation of alternative forms of ecosystem services management, specifically different kinds of ‘eco-agriculture/forestry applications and how this relates to wellbeing and ecosystem services provision.

Evaluate in detail a number of policies and measures that can be implemented to address priority drivers of deforestation in Nepal, building from existing studies on the drivers for deforestation and degradation 2. Identify where and how gaps between the REDD+ policy process and strategies to address drivers can be addressed 3. Propose recommendations that can be used to elaborate the priority policies and measures as part of the REDD+ strategy process 4. Support the REDD cell in the preparation of an efficient, effective and equitable national REDD+ strategy by providing targeted support in a key area of the strategy development process 5. Assess options for the design of an effective, efficient, equitable and results based fund management system for REDD+ finance in Nepal, make recommendations and communicate these in a way that ensures constructive integration into the REDD+ strategy process.

The aim of this project is to respond to the issue, to analyze and address key constrains in exercising rights, which will likely prove vital in facilitating poverty reduction. The program of work proposed uses rights and tenure as the entry point for generating and sharing improved knowledge on the scale of the current impacts, with particular reference to costs of missed opportunities through restricting rights, governance and market access issues
