Sustainable Management of Beekeeping in Jumla District of Nepal: The Role of Farmer-led Institutions

摘要

Past development efforts have often ignored the vital elements of sustainable development: involvement of the beneficiaries and strengthening their institutions. It is now realised that sustainable management of any development activity is possible only if the people in need are involved in all the phases of development from planning, through implementation, and monitoring to benefit sharing. This paper highlights the role of farmer-led institutions in ICIMOD's bee-keeping project which is being implemented using a community-based approach in Jumla district of Nepal.
