| dc.description.abstract | In Ethiopia preventing environmental degradation especially forest degradation and alleviating poverty are the twin goals of sustainable development. That is why decentralized forest management taken as strategy to tackle the challenge of preventing the degradation of forest resources while sustaining forest and benefits to peopleās livelihoods. However, it is controversial whether decentralization is increasing forest sustainability and improving forest dwellers livelihood in balanced way. This study is conducted in South East of Ethiopia in the Oromia region in the district of Adaba-Dodola. The main objective of the study is to examine the influence of decentralization on forest resource management. Data were collected through questionnaires over two month period supplemented by key informant interviews and documents analysis. The results show the improvement of forest dwellers livelihood; improvement forest coverage and recovering of forest resource. Therefore, the study concludes that decentralized forest management is a viable option for forest resources management and sustainable livelihood development; is growing in a local peoples. However, there were lacks of incentive to manage natural forest a major source of diversity, absence of national policy coverage for Participatory Forest Management (PFM), blurred line of accountability, etc. These imply that commercialization of forest over forest conservation as a threat; community based forest management need to get policy and legal foundation to make forest for people; and difficulties to hold answerable forest related institutions. | en_US |
