Abstract
In recent years, the notion that forestry could combine resource use and management with local economic development has been popular with development agencies. There has been considerable emphasis on 'involving' local people in forestry projects. Yet agency-sponsored activities have not often led to 'sustainable' resource use, nor have they contributed much to local development. This article explores some limitations in the way externally-sponsored projects work and suggests that they could become more effective by creating space for local institutions.
