Social Equity in Community Forests: Two Case Studies from Nepal

Social equity is the fairness of treatment of all concerned stakeholders according to an agreed set of principles, particularly in procedures used to form and implement policies and in the distribution of resources and costs. In order to understand the practical implementation of various dimensions of equity in forest management, two case studies were carried out in two community forests (CF) of Nepal, namely Chisapani CF of Nawalparasi district and Bandre CF in Syangja district.
