Descripción
This study explores policy framework on current JFM programme, which secures traditional right of local need subject to the
carrying capacity of forest, but face moral hazard problem in which Government cannot legally monitor actions against JFM households which
live below poverty line and that extract TFPs for their livelihood, and thereby threatening to sustainability of forest, whereas the
incentive work opportunities that Government provides them is insufficient for their subsistence. A good incentive fee dependent on their
work plus a lump sum fee (subsidy) are required for their livelihood sustenance and sustainability of forest resources.
