SAGUN (Forestry and Buffer Zone) Program (2005). Participatory Well Being Ranking: A Summary of Process and Outcomes. SAGUN Program, CARE Nepal / RITI / WWF / RIMS Nepal.
This paper briefly summarizes the process of participatory well being ranking (PWBR) conducted to identify the poor households in the community forestry user groups (CFUGs), their support areas and facilitate them in their capacity building and livelihood improvement. It presents the outcomes of PWBR conducted in a total of 591 CFUGs in Banke, Bardia, Kailali, Dhading and Dolpa covered by SAGUN (Forestry and Buffer Zone) Program. Of the total 77,126 user households, 19%, 40% and 41% households belong to well-off, medium and poor categories respectively. In 2005, a total of 327 CFUGs supported poor households with one or more support activities. This paper presents the issues, challenges and lessons learned from PWBR.
