Community Forest Management in Vietnam Challenges & Way Forward

Export citation

Community forest management (CFM) has been legally recognized in Vietnam since 2004, and was among the priorities in Vietnam’s Forestry Development Strategy 2006-2020. Under this strategy, forest land allocation and projects to stimulate local communities to be involved in forest management have been implemented across the country. Significant progress has been made, but overall implementation has ambivalent results.
