The project has been jointly implemented by a consortium of national and international partners in three key areas: agroforestry, community forestry and under- utilised land. This particular report describes the state of art in Nepal's community forest (CF) and its link with food security and livelihoods from four angles: policy, institutions, market and silvicultural practice. The report is focused on six Community Forest User Groups (CFUGs) in six research sites of the project in the two districts – Kavre and Lamjung. However, this report also highlights the underlying policy, institutions and market dynamics at higher levels of governance that has shaped forest management at the CFUG level. Knowledge gap in realising Community Forest - Food Security links While Nepal's community forestry is regarded as one of the successful natural resource management programmes, there are concerns that it has not been able to adequately support the food security and livelihoods of its managers (Ojha et al. 2009; Thoms 2008; Dhakal et al. 2011). The claims over the success of the CF programme (MoFSC 2013- impact study) and increasing chronic problem of food scarcity (WFP and NeKSAP 2009) appear ironic given the predominance of integrated forest- livestock-crop production system, especially in the Nepalese hills. In this context, this baseline study is guided by questions like: what are the gaps in CF policy, regulatory and institutional framework that limit realisation of its full potential in meeting food security and livelihoods of local communities?; Where are the avenues for transforming forest policy and institutions towards meeting food and other livelihoods needs of local communities? This baseline report generates necessary evidence to explore answers to these questions, and also highlights areas of new knowledge that could inform policies and practice towards stronger community forest - food security (CF-FS) - livelihoods system in Nepal. EnLiFt project and its objectives The aim of this project is to enhance livelihoods and food security from improved implementation of agroforestry and community forestry systems in the middle hills of Nepal. These research questions were used to formulate objectives and activities for a project that could contribute to the aim within a five-year timeframe. The CF related objective of the project is to improve the functioning of CF systems to enhance the livelihoods and food security of CFUG members. Some of the major activities towards achieving these objectives are: 1. Analyse the status of CF and its constraints to improving equitable livelihoods 2. Identify innovative CF institutions and management practices 3. Analyse markets and value-chains for CF products 4. Analyse policy, access, tenurial and institutional limitations of CF 5. Conduct participatory action research to enhance equitable CF benefit sharing Objectives of the baseline study This baseline is designed to analyze the current state of CF system at the beginning of the project with two objectives. First is to identify priority researchable areas in the sites which form the basis of action research intervention. Second is to create a benchmark of the situation in the project area in order to 2 COMMUNITY FORESTRY – Qualitative Baseline
