概要
This case study is one of 10 produced under “Forest Conservation through Certification, Markets and Strengthening of Small and Medium-sized Forest Enterprise,” a five-year project supported by the Multilateral Investment Fund (MIF), a member of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Group. The present case study focuses on the indigenous Mayangna community of Awas Tingni, which has one of the longer histories of organized community forestry in Nicaragua, predating the national land-titling policy by about 15 years. Since 2007, the Rainforest Alliance has been working in Awas Tingni to develop community forest enterprise.
