Summary
This report summarises the key findings of a preliminary NGO and community evaluation of an ongoing Community Forest Management (CFM) project in Andhra Pradesh, India. The project, funded by the World Bank, officially claims to be aimed at reducing poverty and empowering communities to take autonomous decisions regarding forest management. However, this evaluation finds that rather than genuinely devolving control over natural resource management to the communities involved, the APCFM project is entrenching the control of the Forest Department at the local level, often against the wishes of the communities.
