RRI began collaboration with $150 million Multi-stakeholder Forestry Programme (MSFP) as a strategic entry point to change tenure policies within new government and forthcoming Constitution and develop enterprises. Dialogue began with private sector and government to ensure value addition of community forestry in timber and NTFP markets, in line with national Green Growth goals, and communication established between FECOFUN and Nepal Federation of Indigenous Nationalities (NEFIN), enhancing synergy between community and indigenous forest rights advocacy platforms.
