The study enables to understand the rights and access of the rural people in the broader context. Considering the community and collaborative forest management context, the study subsequently analyses the importance of forest resources for rural households. Community based forest management (CBFM), mainly Community forestry and collaborative forest management have evolved as a key strategy of conservation as well as promoting local livelihoods in Tarai. The present research assesses the access to livelihood assets of forest resources in rural areas of the Bara District of Tarai Nepal. Its main potential for impact may well be within the agriculture sector, by expanding a systems approach that integrates ecological, economic, and governance components that promote resilient development. Finally, it broadens the scope of the initial framework – sometimes perceived as dealing only with the “traditional” natural resources of forests, wildlife, and fisheries – to include principles and actions relevant to mining, climate change, and both small and large scale agriculture. It provides more information on implementation and contains an illustrative toolbox. It goes beyond a perceived focus on the micro or project level and includes recommendations for working at the national, regional, and programmatic levels. It makes the NWP framework more relevant to other regions of the world, adding case studies from Asia and Latin America. This volume, Nature, Wealth, and Power 2.0: Leveraging Natural and Social Capital for Resilient Development (NWP2), updates, strengthens, and attempts to be more comprehensive than NWP1. This investment must be leveraged to benefit local economies and avoid being extractive. While official development assistance has not declined, foreign direct investment by the private sector has increased dramatically and is now a much larger share of development resources.

Information sharing and knowledge management tools have improved, and the world is more globalized and interconnected. Global challenges include feeding a still-growing world population that is simultaneously adapting to and minimizing the degree of climate change, lifting billions of people out of poverty, and empowering marginalized and disenfranchised rural people. The challenges and opportunities of rural development have accentuated since 2002, and are more critical than ever. NWP is a framework that allowed practitioners, planners and policy-makers in a number of places to see the various interlinked dimensions of rural development, and develop and implement programs that were more successful and sustainable. In 2002, Nature, Wealth, and Power: Emerging Best Practice for Revitalizing Rural Africa (NWP1) was published as a flexible framework for improving rural development through better integration of biophysical, economic, and governance dimensions, raising the profile of both economic and power issues as key to poverty reduction and sustainable natural resource management in rural areas.
