Abstract
The participation of local communities
and other stakeholders in managing forestry and conservation
projects can help to improve forest productivity, alleviate
poverty, enhance environmental sustainability, and make
rules governing forest access more enforceable. Introducing
participatory management depends on government commitment;
and it requires time and resources to develop consensus
among stakeholders, establish new institutional
arrangements, decentralize finance and administration,
ensure appropriate rules and incentives for local
involvement, and build organizational capacity at the local level.
