With cooperation from Women Mobilizing for Development Association (MHP) the Capacity Development for Citizen Led – Inclusive Development was introduced to village authorities. Lao Pha immediately realized the significance of the project and led villagers to voice their needs. “We wanted to continue to preserve and utilize wild forest tea as a main source of income for our village and stop slashes and burn cultivation techniques,” says Lao Pha. The Community Development Facilitator, who was trained through Citizen-Led Inclusive Development Project, guided the villagers in assessing their potential and capacity to preserve the Wild Forest Tea Reservation.
