Community forestry has a significant role in the lives of people in Nepal as it serves the livelihood security of people to a greater
extent. It is central in ensuring community participation in all the stages of CF (Community forestry) process and thus reach the
objectives of sustainable forest management. However, it is quite difficult to address the interests of all users and to ensure the
participation of all stakeholders in the decentralised forest management process. Moreover, it is evident that people need
motivation to participate in any activities. Therefore the present study is focused on the dynamics of participation in forest
management, especially on the link between distribution of benefits, and the level of participation of members, by exploring the
process of institutional management and community governance. The study was undertaken in 178 households of Kankali
community forestry, in Chitwan district of Nepal. The results revealed that availabilty of the benefits do not have direct relation
with neither paricipation in activities nor in decision making. Though motivation is a prerequisite to activate participation of people
in any activity, other methods of persuasion is also vital to continue its pace. Whereas, to influence decision making process, other
individual characteristics including nature, leadership quality, experience, knowledge etc. may have great control and can
determine the participation dynamics which needs to be studied further.
