When the Forest was ours

When people were asked about the benefits of the project, their immediate response was that they attended training courses, but when one probed into the benefits of attending training, this was mainly associated with the per diem that they received during the training time. The project ultimately provides only 22 permanent jobs for the local community. Sharing mechanisms of the income from carbon selling seems problematic because of numerous institutional weaknesses, both in cooperatives' capacity and autonomy which leads us to question the future of Sustainable development aspects in general. The overall project outcomes in terms of Sustainable development will not help to live up to the 'win-win' rhetoric that it vows to uphold.
