Published By: SANDEE on eSS | Published Date: July, 10 , 2011In Nepal an innovative form of forestry management, known as the
Leasehold Forestry (LHF) Programme, is being introduced to protect forest
land and help it regenerate. A new SANDEE study analyzes the role of
this programme in improving household welfare in Nepal. The study was
undertaken to see whether degraded forest land, a resource available to
a greater or lesser extent in all low-income countries, can be managed to
both improve the environment and enhance socio-economic wellbeing. [SANDEE Policy Brief Number 56-11]. URL:[http://www.sandeeonline.org/uploads/documents/publication/946_PUB_PB_56_Bishnu_Sharma.pdf].
