| dc.description.abstract | Community Forest User Groups (CFUGs) are responsible to establish goodgovernance, sustainable forest management and improve people’s livelihoods. Thestudy aimed to assess the governance status in Community Forest (CF) in semi-urbanareaby assessing the good governance practices on transparency, accountability andparticipation and measuring the user’s satisfaction level. Based upon the findings, itis very clear that good governance in Patle Muldol CF is satisfactory but there is stillroom for improvement. The study relies on primary data from 60 CF users, wherestructured questionnaires were used for collecting information. The findings showthat the executive committees contain 50 percent female of gender but due to lack ofupdatedParticipatory wellbeing ranking (PWBR), it cannot be certain regardinginclusion of poor groups in the EC. Inclusive committees in a CFUG may not alwaysreflect good governance, as there is a chance that marginalized groups will beexploited in the name of inclusion. Therefore, there is a need to build capacity ofmarginalized groups before asking them to represent in the executive committees ofCFUGs. Similarly, there seems to be a bit of conflict between the CFUG and thesubdivision forest office so regular coordination and interaction between them isneeded to solve this issue. Participatory monitoring jointly with subdivision forestoffice should be done on regular basis to ensure governance is maintained. | en_US |
