Shrestha, B. (2003). Equity and Gender Consideration in Watershed Management: An Experience with Community Development and Forest / Watershed Conservation Project Phase-II in Western Hills of Nepal. A paper presented at the national seminar on "Management of Common Property Resources and Equity: Exploring Lessons from Nepal" held on 28 April 2003. Kathmandu, Nepal: ForestAction Nepal.
In Nepal, caste, ethnicity and gender remain important issues. Despite constitutional rights for equality, disparities based on caste, ethnicity and gender persist. This case study examines the caste/ethnic and gender dimension of the structure of people's groups as reflected in representation in committees and leadership development, meetings and decision-making, and training and study tours. The article concludes that a sense of ownership of local people to protect-supported activities leads to better participation in meetings, decision-making and other collective activities, irrespective of caste, ethnic and gender differences.
