This workshop was supported and developed with the collaborative efforts of ForestAction, Nepal’s Ministry of Forest and Soil Conservation (MoFSC), and the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR). With over 100 participants from diverse backgrounds, including government, NGOs, Forest User Groups, development projects and international organizations, the workshop was host to a deliberation on five interrelated themes of Community Forestry: Governance, Adaptive Management, Gender and Equity, Livelihoods, and Forest Sustainability. Held in both plenary and small-scale workshop settings, participants identified future strategic directions to strengthen Community Forestry in Nepal, focusing on enhancing the equity impact of the programme.
