Different ministriesgive licenses for cutting forests, mining etc.There are 20,000 villages in these forests.To protect marginalized people living inforests we try to decide boundary lines ofthe forests and involve local communityliving in these forests in the process ofplanning and monitoring and to decide theuse of that land. We don’t just follow topdownapproach in monitoring but it goesboth ways. So involving local community atthe stages of planning, implementing andmonitoring has been very useful.Answer by Dr. Andrew Rathmell, Coffey International Development:Based on lessons in UK for targetmonitoring mechanism I am of the view thatthere should be some formal mechanism tomake the reports public.***45
