  1. CollaboratorsThis presentation has been prepared jointly by: Harisharan Luintel, Giridhar Kinhal, Sarah Gillett, Anna Lawrence, J.H. Indresh, Kamal Bhandari, Hari Raj Neupane, Krishna Paudelfrom: ForestAction, FRLHT and ECI Methodology for Planning Sustainable Management of Medicinal plants in India and Nepal

  2. About the research • Aim to develop a widely acceptable and specific methodology for planning sustainable management of medicinal plants. • Combine indigenous and scientific knowledge to understand the resource and the factors affecting it. • Empower local communities to manage their resources more sustainable way.

  3. Research sites

  4. Site in Nepal

  5. Site in India(need to insert a map of study site map of India-Indresh please insert)

  6. Early findings (1 minute!) • Research Communication and its institutionalisation is essential • System approach is needed • Local knowledge enriches forestry science making it user friendly and accessible • Local people are interested in scientific experimentation • Management and use increase with knowledge, abundance and access to resources • External trade of MP adversely affects traditional MP management • Faith in medicinal plants declining, traditional knowledge lost • Institutionalisation of research processes and empowerment of marginalized community members achieved through participatory action and learning.

  7. Development Value • Use of medicinal plants for livelihood generation and primary health care • Local use - local sale • Building adaptive capacity of local communities respecting their innovations, values and knowledge for resource conservation • Inclusion of poor and marginalised • Develop generic method of harvesting • Blending scientific and traditional knowledge on NTFPs management • People’s empowerment and skill up gradation

  8. Participatory research process • We have been working with differedt stakeholders from the beginning through: • Planning stage (inception workshop) • Regular updates (meetings with minister- in India ??????) • Implementation of the project • Reflection of the project processes and learning • So that: • They feel involved, interested, consulted, valued • The project is relevant • They feel ownership of the ideas and process This is the single most important thing to say about dissemination in a participation research project: we do not have research FOLLOWED BY dissemination, but consultation / research / uptake all happening simultaneously in a learning cycle. LINK it back in to the fundamental philosophy of ForestAction.

  9. Dissemination strategies • Ideas for project promotion developed at the Initiation Workshop, in consultation with a wide variety of stakeholders Processes Products Micro Level MesoLevel Macro Level International Level

  10. Dissemination strategies Products Forest maps Brochures Leaflets Posters Technical notes Forest OP FUG Constitution Manuals Reports Experimental Plots Brochures Leaflets Technical notes Discussion note Web Page Articles Manuals Journals Brochures Policy briefs Discussion note Web Page Articles Manuals Journals Reports Brochures Web Page Articles Manuals MicroLevel (communities, CFUG, JFM) Macro Level (MOFSC, DOF, academic institute, INGO, projects) Int'l Level (Academic institute, int'l devt. agencies) Meso Level (DFO, NGO, FECOFUN, projects) PRA PAL Meetings Assemblies Workshops Trainings Research team NTFP committee Study tour Field visits Experimentation PAC Mass media (Radio interview) Workshop paper presentation Training Joint field visits Consultation meetings Sharing through emails with interested Processes

  16. Challenges for dissemination • Development of customized messages and products for each categories of audiences • Demand different professional competencies for each types of products • Impact of the message on the basis of the interest of the recipients • Disseminating the process (product is easier)

  17. Photographs (we will insert it later, please send the relevant photo to put here) please refer to the CD full of photos that we left with you two weeks ago. It is best if you choose those you think will be good for the presentation.
