Overview
We provide comprehensive facilitation in over 27 villages in Bastar (Chhattisgarh) and 8 villages in Dindori (Madhya Pradesh). Addressing community-level and state-level bottlenecks, we assist forest-dependent communities in formation of Forest Rights Committees, claim-making, designing approaches and facilitating CFR Management Plans, and provide support for their implementation.
Although focused on a few villages, action-oriented work helps us engage and improve the full cross-section of our other strategies, and is at the heart of our work on Community Forest Rights.
