it has helped them to learn new technology by involving themselves (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: other project/ programs should involve these)
they have developed feeling of ownership (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: other projects/ programs should allow them to make decisions)
learnt te importance of living in harmony and resolving the conflicts (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: conflict resolution should be top most priority while implementing other projects/ programs)

Participatory approaches involves all the staeholders (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: in every other projects or programs the approach whould be continued.)
The land users should feel the ownership (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: feeling should be continue even after the withdrwal of the project for 1 or 2 years)

6.5 Pontos fracos, desvantagens da tecnologia e formas de superá-los

Pontos fracos/desvantagens/riscos na visão do usuário da terra Como eles podem ser superados?
treatment of land with one of the forest activities and then SWC measures more focus on the SWC approach
ridge line approach taking up acivities in the lands which have been leftover during previous years
language problem when interacting with the people from the hamlets better facilitating and involving the educated people of the hamlets while interacting
formation of the users group focusig activities after the planting work is over organising the stakeholders in to UG before undertaking the activities.
not much imortance is given to the land users demands during the initial period especially regardnign field bunds before planting and implementing the activities, landusers demands should be taken into consideration
Pontos fracos/vantagens/riscos na visão do compilador ou de outra pessoa capacitada Como eles podem ser superados?
Low level of literacy Regular training and capacity building trainings
shortage of women staff in the project restricting the interaction with the women land owners Regular gender sensitization training to the project staff.
