Commune-level institutional arrangements and monitoring framework for integrated tree-based landscape management

This paper provides guidance on monitoring integrated tree-based landscape management at commune level, based on the current legal framework related to natural resource management (land and forest) and the requirements of national green-growth development and assessment of land uses in two communes in Dien Bien and Son La provinces. The concept of integrated tree-based landscape management in Viet Nam is still new and should be further developed for wider application across levels.
