They have long been managing the natural resource and sustainably using for their livelihoods. Besides, they have also contributed to mitigating global carbon emission. They can not claim their rights without sustainable resource management policies, programmes and development process. The development process will be sustainable if the excluded groups actively participate in planning, monitoring and evaluation (PME) processes. Thus, the policies, strategic and operational plans, and programmes need to prioritise participatory planning, monitoring and evaluation (PPME) as an approach to sustainable development.
