Lessons Learned from Crafting the Technical Guidelines on the Forest-based Income Generation Models in Vietnam

The project "Strengthening Community-based Forestry in Vietnam (CFM2)" was implemented in nine provinces showcasing community forestry sites, namely, Dien Bien, Son La, Lang Son, Cao Bang, Yen Bai, Nghe An, Quang Tri, Thua Thien Hue, and Dak Nong. It was an offshoot of the project entitled, "Pilot Community-based Forest Management Program (CFM1)," which generated initial information on the potential of developing forest-based income livelihoods in community forestry sites.
