E. Village organizations and women's organizations

One of the goals of ERP is to strengthen local institutions at the village level through such entities as Village Development Committees (VDCs), Management Unit Committees and women's organizations. Only when village people in all areas unite can they set new rules for the rights of management and use of communal resources. The design of social control and fine-levying systems would be the basis of the new stewardship of communal, state and private areas. A village fund is an essential prerequisite for sustainable village development. Revenue includes contributions from members and other sources of common income such as tree pruning and selling fuelwood to the local population at subsidized rates.
