Nepal
CollaboratorsThis presentation has been prepared jointly by:

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.

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.
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
Participatory research processWe 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.
Dissemination strategies• Ideas for project promotion developed at the
Initiation Workshop, in consultation with a wide variety of stakeholders

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)

presentation.
