This paper is part of a study by RECOFTC that aims to acquire a better understanding of the situation of forest tenure and the implementation of Vietnam's forest tenure policies.
The study finds that despite two decades of state control over forests in Vietnam” traditional forest management systems endure. Under these conditions and with timely external support” local communities can not only benefit from forest management” but also protect allocated forests from unauthorized use.
