1. Introduction:
CARD Project 017/06VIE - Sustainable community-based forest development and
management in some high poverty areas in Bac Kan Province" at the four pilot villages,
Na Muc and Khuoi Lieng village (Van Minh Commune) and To Dooc and Ban Sang (Lang
San Commune), Na Ri District, Bac Kan province has been implemented. The first stage as
land use planning and land allocation to village communities was completed which gave a
necessary condition to implement the CFM project. Following this step, developing CFM plan
is an important task to organise how the community forests will be managed and developed
by village communities to meet sustainability.
CFM plan should be developed with participation of all community members as they are
decision makers in the plan

A CFM plan includes regulations of CFM, a general plan and a detailed plan. Regulations of
CFM is a legal foundation for community members to implement CFM at the village level.

General and detailed plans will help the communities to implement project activities
following time table for the next several years such as plantation technique, fire prevention
and protection, logging, and processing. In addition, the plan can be used to seek funding
support from outside. More over, it can be used for evaluating results of the project in the
future.

To meet contents as above, CFM plans have been developed for implementation at the four
pilot villages of this CARD project.
2. Objectives of CFM plan
2.1 Establish regulations of CFM
2.1.1 Regulations of CFM
CFM regulation should consider general conditions:
- Within the jurisdiction of laws and appropriate with local traditional culture or
custom.
- Clearly stated and easy to understand and implement.
2.2.2 Contents of CFM regulations
- Rights and responsibilities of all community members in forest protection and
development
- Rules to protect forests and mobilise human resources to protect and develop forests
- Logging, buy and sell, timber and non-timber transport
- Forest animals
- Grazing animals in the community forest
- Prevent forest fire, methods to use fire in the forest
- Checking and preventing outsiders from shifting cultivation, illegal logging or
hunting, and illegal buying, selling and transporting timber/non-timber/animals
within the village.
- Cooperation among community members in forest protection/development,
production services and sale of products.
- Collaborating with other villages to protect and develop the forests effective
- Regulations on punishment for breaking the forest protection rules

4
- Regulations on sharing benefits within community members
- The regulations should be presented to all community member and the need to be
submit to Commune People's Committee for approval.
2.2 CMF Plan
A CFM plan covers general plan for forest management and an annual plan for
implementation.

Thus a CMF plan should include the following details:

- New plantation plan such as what kinds of species? how big area?, where? When?
How much of labor costs? How many seedlings? Sources of seedlings?
- Nursery plan, seedling production
- Maintenance and protection
- Harvesting plans
- Human resource plan
- Other activities such as agro-forestry

3. Methods
3.1 Working group
Working team in the field includes staffs from Thai Nguyen University, Bac Kan Extension
Department, Kim Hy Natural Reserve Area, extentionists from Van Minh and Lang San
communes, and key villagers. Mr. Nguyen My Hai (Bac Kan staff) has a main responsibility
for the fieldwork and preparing first draft report.

Thai Nguyen University staff provided advice, checking and writing final report.

3.2 Methods for establishing forest protection regulations
Structure of CFM regulation is prepared in advance, based on related legal documents and

local traditional culture and custom.

Group meetings were carried out for discussion and drawing regulations on community forest
protection and development. The last draft of the Community Forest Protection and
Development Regulations was presented and updated by the whole village community
through a village meeting. These regulations become formal documents after being accepted
by the majority of village members, and will become legal documents after being approved by
the local authorities (commune and district levels).
3.3 Development of CFM plan
To develop CFM plan, the following steps are taken:

Step 1- Field survey:
• Working group and all members of village community (one person from each
household) go to the field together. In the field, they need to find out:
• Review borders, forest types and farming systems of community forest areas.
• Discuss with villagers what should be done on the different forest types, including:
o Bare land - find out what kinds of species should be planted on the different
sites.

5
o Young forest types - decide what technical activities should be carried out for
maintenance and protection task.
• Discuss solutions how to reduce/stop shifting cultivation in community forests
• Discuss free grazing, forest fire and illegal timber logging or harvest of non-timber
products, and how to prevent these situations.
• Working group and villagers work together to estimate the amount of new plantation
seedlings and labor working days.

Step 2- Village meeting

The working group and key informants from the village will develop CFM plan (general and
detailed plans) based on data/information from the field surveys in Step 1). The CFM plan
should consider some main points as follows:
• Cropping seasons, priority for short-term and long-term purposes
• Short and clear so villagers can understand and contribute their ideas
• CFM plan should be presented and updated to all villagers through a village meeting.
It will become a formal CFM plan after being accepted by the majority of villagers at
the meeting.
3.4 Summary and writing results:
All data/information from the field surveys and results from group discussion /village meeting
should be summarized following table formats.

4. Results
4.1 Establish CFM regulations
Regulations of CFM for the four pilot villages have been developed with full
participation of villagers. The proposed regulations were subsequently accepted by all
members of the village communities through final village meetings.
Once these regulations receive approval by district People’s Committee, they will
become legal documents for the villages.

5. Conclusions and recommendations
To implement the CFM plan, including applying CFM regulations in the pilot villages as
above, there is a need for many supports such as finance, technology and institutions. The
CARD project can provide both financial and technical support for first three years. The local
government should support institutional issues for efficient and effective implementation. In
particular, the local government agencies should find the way to continue supporting the
communities after the completion of CARD project. Moreover, each member of the
communities should contribute their labour inputs for forest protection and development tasks
as proposed in the CFM plan.
