Does Gender Sensitive Joint Forest Management Programme Increase Women’s Contribution on Household’s Income? Evidence from West Bengal in Indian context
Abstract
This study tries to examine as to whether gender sensitive
planning under participatory forest management
programme increases women’s contribution on
household’s income by augmenting women’s physical
involvement in forest works based on an empirical
study in such an Indian state-West Bengal- which acts
as key-precursor of the implementation of participatory
forest management programme in general and gender
sensitive participatory forest management programme
in particular. Most important finding of this study is
that under female-organised forest management unit
(called female FPC) women are the major contributors
to their family income, which they only receive
from forest source, after JFM programme. However
more worrying is that despite women’s major share of
households income from female FPC villages in particular,
male control over household’s income implying
that this might undermine women’s empowerment and
equity principle of people’s centered forest management
programme.
