1. Project Lessons for Safeguards
- Non-forestry lending! but it will affect forest
directly - Creation of New sustainable institution,
governance funding for livelihood - Reorienting the agro-forestry/jhum activities
into cash crop plantations - Term-Degraded forest has to be read much
carefully jhum areas are treated as
degraded/wasteland - --------------------------------------------------
--- - SG-Non recognition of community and forest
relations - SG-requires clear recognition of the rights
relations betwn Communities and their forest. - SG-Leave community used forest/jhum land cycling
in the ambit of Degraded-fear of bringing in
plantations

2. Project Lessons for Safeguards
- Project is largely in IPs territories
- And hence IPs Pol triggered and IPDP prepared
- Claims that FPICon with Broad Community Support
obtained in all villages! - --------------------------------------
- Few people have idea of about project.
- Broad Community Support! Who all! With project
people and govt. - Lack of recognition of IPs rights in its full
sense - UNDRIP and FPIC (consent)
