Social Forestry End-to-End Facilitation
We accompany social forestry from pre-permit readiness to post-permit consolidation, supporting licensing facilitation, RKPS preparation, and governance strengthening. Where relevant, we link community forest management to NTFP value chains so benefits are durable and aligned with forest protection

How we work
Engage and confirm FPIC
FPIC is applied across interventions to ensure informed participation and meaningful consent throughout facilitation
Co-design and implement
We co-design governance, planning, and implementation steps with communities, grounded in local knowledge and field realities
Safeguards and risk management
We manage social and environmental risks through conflict prevention, dialogue-based resolution, and map-supported processes where needed
Monitoring, evaluation and learning
We set baselines and targets, verify progress participatorily, and track environmental, social, and economic outcomes to improve delivery quality
Safeguards, inclusion and learning
Safeguards and risk management
We apply social and environmental safeguards, with conflict-sensitive facilitation and risk management to strengthen accountability
Inclusion and participation
We prioritise the meaningful involvement of women, youth, and vulnerable groups in decision-making and benefit pathways
Grievance, feedback and MEL
Community feedback is collected through village forums and a documented grievance mechanism, feeding into MEL cycles and adaptation
Evidence and learning
Our evidence approach combines baselines, targets, and participatory verification across household, group, and landscape levels, then tracks outcomes for continuous improvement
- Baseline, targets, and participatory verification at household, group, and landscape levels
- Outcome measurement including practice adoption and social and economic benefits
- Documented feedback and grievance pathway
