The forestry and conservation sector is flush with foreign aid. According to rough estimates, donors have pumped in up to 120 million dollars in Nepal’s community forestry since 1980, which is rather high. Receiving huge funds means nothing if the intended recipients don’t get the benefits.

The conservation sector depends largely on foreign aid and most of the projects are designed in the capital, setting ambitious objectives. But the real assessment of the work conducted in the field is rarely disclosed.
