A presentation on community forest
Community forests in Nepal cover 25% of the country's forest land and are managed by over 14,000 local community forest user groups (CFUGs) representing 35% of Nepal's population. Under the 1993 Forest Act, national forests are handed over to CFUGs for protection, management, and sustainable use. Since 1978, community forestry has led to increased forest cover, social mobilization, income generation, and institutional development at the local level. However, challenges remain in ensuring disadvantaged groups' access, improving technical forest management, focusing on local needs, and supporting women and the poor through CFUG decision making. Overall, community forestry shows promise for sustainable forest management if democratic processes and people's participation are strengthened
Cooperatives in ethiopia
This document provides an overview of the cooperative movement in Ethiopia. It discusses the historical context of traditional cooperative practices in Ethiopia and the establishment of cooperatives as legal institutions in the 1960s. Under socialist rule from 1974-1991, cooperatives were formed to assist with collective ownership policies, though this violated cooperative principles. Currently there are over 37,000 primary cooperatives and 245 unions in Ethiopia working in various sectors like agriculture, housing, and savings. However, the cooperative sector faces challenges like a lack of comprehensive policy and strategy, low leadership capacity, and lack of access to finance. The document examines the roles, impacts and best practices of cooperatives as well as opportunities and constraints for future growth.
Role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in rural development
NGOs play an important role in rural development in India. The document discusses several NGOs working in Karnataka like RUDSETI, SKDRDP, MYRADA, AMEF, BAIF, and Karuna Trust. It provides details on the objectives, activities, and impact of these NGOs. For example, a study found that SKDRDP significantly increased land development work, irrigation facilities, employment opportunities, and introduced subsidiary occupations and improved cropping patterns for beneficiaries. Overall, NGOs fill important gaps and help empower communities through activities like training, livelihood generation, watershed development, and advocacy.
Identity & Current Status of Nomadic Sedentary Pastoral Tribes
Nomadic and sedentary pastoral tribes traditionally relied on livestock rearing as their main livelihood. However, over time they lost political influence and access to resources. Pre-colonial, they had high social and economic importance as breeders and knowledge holders. During colonial rule, exploitation increased as they lost interest in governance. Post-independence, the state's atrocities increased further as pastoralists were ignored politically and faced loss of grazing lands and indigenous knowledge transfer. Now pastoralists are working to strengthen customary institutions, reclaim grazing lands, and advocate for policies that recognize their land rights and livelihoods.

What Preservation Means to You
Sean Kenny, Executive Director, Farm and Natural Lands Trust of York County
About the Farm and Natural Lands Trust of York County –The idea to form a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, land preservation organization began with a few citizens being concerned with the changes occurring in York County. The changes being seen prior to 1990 were congested streets, rising school and property taxes, scattered large developments without infrastructure, expanding sewer capacity, larger (or new) school buildings needed to accommodate the increasing school population, the loss of open-rural appearance, the loss of character and charm of York County. Thus, in April of 1990, the York County Farmland Trust was created. Later, the name was changed to encompass the need to conserve natural, wooded areas. In 1993, the name was changed to the Farm & Natural Lands Trust of York County.
Topic - Sean will discuss the efforts of the Trust to maintain the rural character of York County. In their efforts he will show how this work can be mutually beneficial in the required watershed planning and protection desired and mandated onto municipal governments. The potential for cooperative relationships between this organization and municipal governments will be discussed, as will the potential mutual benefits if partnerships are successful.

Resilience systems analysis (1)
A resilience systems analysis translates political will into effective programming by taking a whole-of-system approach to understand risks over time, not just events. It brings together experts in risks, systems, and decision-making to pool existing knowledge and data to analyze the resilience of a given system, such as the well-being of Egyptian communities, to various risks over the next three years. This includes risks from geo-political, economic, natural/climate, and idiosyncratic or covariate factors. The analysis maps these risks, examines how the system absorbs, adapts and transforms across factors like infrastructure, social networks, governance, natural resources, human capital and finances. It then prioritizes short, medium and long-
