This booklet is an outcome of the documentation and analysis of the activities on Local Adaptation Plan of Action (LAPA) and Community Adaptation Plan of Actions (CAPA) in Koshi Hill districts (Dhankuta, Tehrathum, Bhojpur and Sankhuwasabha) of Nepal. The LAPA and CAPA activities are part of Multi Stakeholder Forestry Programme (MSFP) Lot 1, jointly implemented by a consortium of Rural Reconstruction Nepal (RRN) and ForestAction Nepal (Joint Venture of RRN and FA), for two years (March 2013 to February 2015). So, this book is a part of MSFP outcomes of this Joint Venture (JV) in four Koshi Hill districts.

This book is a result of the hard work of its contributors. So, our greatest thanks go to the authors of this publication for their efforts. This publication has been benefitted from wide range of people, namely the people and community related with the prepared and implemented LAPA and CAPA activities; government officials at local and district levels; MSFP Lot 1 related staffs from local, district and Lot office at Dhankuta; and the staffs and related individuals of the local implementing partner organizations (LIPOs) of MSFP cluster one districts. We would like to extend our thanks to the local people, community members, and beneficiaries of the related activities for giving their valuable time, information and supports to this study team members
