Community-based Natural Forest Management
- Effective planning today and for the future necessitates a comprehensive look at the past. In recognition of this need and to better serve its missions overseas, the USAID Forestry Team commissioned this retrospective study in an effort to capture the “lessons learned.” The purpose of this study is to capture and highlight the major results of USAID’s history in supporting community benefits from natural forest management. This study, the accompanying bibliographic database, and other materials are designed to assist the agency in formulating and evaluating policy and programmatic recommendations for future natural forest management programming.
