CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees and Agroforestry. 2019. Nepal becomes the second country in the world to have a national agroforestry policy, with support from ICRAF. Reported in Forests, Trees and Agroforestry Annual Report 2019. Outcome Impact Case Report.

Nepal's national agroforestry policy, developed with technical support from ICRAF, is expected to eliminate the barriers faced by farmers in harvesting, transporting and selling their agroforestry products and will be key to improving the livelihoods of smallholders and in enhancing their resilience to climate change. The policy-development process is an outcome of a national consultation organised jointly by the Government of Nepal and ICRAF that resulted in the 2015 Kathmandu Declaration on Agroforestry.
