To raise awareness and ensure clear role delineation, a series of consultations were held with the local community, the Forest Management/Rangeland Management (FM/RM) association, and other key stakeholders. Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that formally outlined the roles and responsibilities of each party was signed. Additionally, the FM/RM association issued a letter of guarantee to support the establishment of a learning site dedicated to promoting best practices in forest and rangeland management. (e.g. cumin) through community’s own contributions.
