Forest-dependent people in Cambodia are among the poorest of all sections of society. Although they are resilient and resourceful, their capacity to forge their own livelihoods has been eroded by the insidious loss of control they once had over the resources traditionally managed by them. The project supported the processes of knowledge- and skill gaining and empowerment that are needed to promote management of forested areas by communities under a newly-enacted framework of law.
