Nepal will continue to benefit from Australia's assistance in the community forestry sector. A new project in the districts of Sindhupalchok and Kabrepalanchok will have the backing of Australian expertise and aims to incorporate community forestry with income generation and conservation activities. This project will begin early next year once the ongoing Nepal-Australia community forestry project is executed completely. The Australian government has backed forestry projects in Nepal for some 30 years now. The basic thrust of all such projects is to ensure a better quality of life for the Nepalese communities.
