Abstract

The decentralized forest management regime has gained currency in developing countries in recent years (Agrawal et al., 2008), being viewed as a means of enhancing economic efficiency, public accountability, community and individual empowerment, and allocative efficiency in the forest sub-sector (World Bank, 2009). These reforms are expected to reconcile conservation and livelihood needs. In particular, forest decentralization is aimed at enhancing people’s livelihoods, alleviating poverty and preserving the forest condition.
