CONCLUSION
Mechanism for Sustainable forest management :
Government plays a central role, as the lead agent for
policy.
The policy framework acts as a hub through which
services are delivered and users access resources.
The policy framework also plays a key role as an
instrument allowing citizens to contribute to sectoral
policy and advocacy agencies to represent the voices
and arguments of those who either cannot have their
own voice (in the case of biodiversity) or are not
sufficiently empowered such as the extreme poor.
The stakeholder can combine the important features of
trust, transparency, openness and flexibility together.
CONCLUSION
An effective partnership process has brought stakeholders
together to set up voluntary, cooperative partnerships and a
Model Forest Partnership Committee. The committee is
comprised of representatives of differences stakeholder groups
including the government, Non government organization,
industries, farmer, technology providers and academic
organizations. The partnership committee provides a forum for
exchanging ideas on forest management, resolving conflicts
and encouraging participatory decision making.

relatives or friends have related business interests that caused
