RDFN Network publication

The Rural Development Forestry Network (RDFN) was an important component of the outreach programme of the Forest Policy and Environment Programme (FPEP).

The Network disseminated information on key issues in tropical forestry to 2900 members around the world (from 1993 - 2003 these were published in English, French and Spanish). It aimed to influence policy and decision-makers (about 30% of its membership) in both governments and international aid agencies.

Thanks to a grant from the Ford Foundation’s Worldwide Environment and Development Affinity Group (EDAG), the full collection of RDFN papers is available on CD-Rom and this website in Adobe PDF format. Mailing number 26, on the socio-economic, organisational and production aspects of Community Forestry in Nepal was published jointly with the Journal of Forest and Livelihood and is the last in the series.
