Stories From The Field: Nepal’s ‘Poorest Of The Poor’ Reap The Benefits Of Innovative Leasehold Project
Abstract:
In the Middle Hills district of Nepal, an IFAD-funded project has helped reverse environmental degradation and bring people out of poverty. As a result of the project’s impressive impact, the government adopted a leasehold forest policy in 2002 and integrated the approach in its poverty strategy. Now a new project is building on the success of the first, introducing livestock and microfinance components.
