Given that community forestry actors at all levels tend to operate in relative isolation, approaches to management and governance tend to be static and top-down. ‘Meso’ connections refer to the level at which different community forest user groups can connect, learn and negotiate with each other and/or with advocacy groups, service providers and district level policy implementers, as well as stakeholders from other sectors.
