Project Summary
The project aims to enhance the capacity of IPLCs to participate in Nepal’s REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) processes at the local, national, and global levels for the sustainable management of forests. This will help create livelihood opportunities and increase the income of forest-dependent communities in the Madhesh and Lumbini Provinces.
Approach :
- Capacity building for IPLCs for SFM
- Competitive Grants
- Project management, monitoring, and knowledge
