Efforts will be made to ensure stronger representation from diverse demographics including youth and women, implementing training and capacity-building initiatives aimed at empowering these structures. Capacity of technical institutions will also be strengthened to provide better support to community decision making and community-led bodies in resource governance. Providing technical expertise and equipping key areas within the CNR/PU with necessary office equipment and skilled technical support, such as forestry control office, will enhance management efficiency.…
