Abstract

The project worked to find ways of better supporting field-based Community-Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) practitioners and researchers. Policy related barriers have been highlighted as constraints to achieving environmental stability and social development initiatives. This is a detailed report providing research methodology, activities, challenges, outputs and outcomes. To overcome policy and policy-related barriers, knowledge empowerment tied to multi-stakeholder involvement made a difference in balancing power relations and improving policy processes. Addressing human-related barriers reduced policy-related barriers. The study’s focus was on six Asian countries: Bhutan, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Nepal and the Philippines.
