Abstract
A recurring constraint in the work of the Leasehold Forest User Groups (LFUG, Nepal) is a lack of clarity about who has a say in the program and how to strengthen working relationships among key local actors. LFUG groups are granted leases on marginal lands under government control. The project aimed to identify potential coalitions and strategies to make the programs more efficient and effective, especially with respect to managing tensions among key local actors. The Social Analysis System (SAS) method helped identify important stakeholders in specific settings, and assisted in developing their relationships with each other.
