9. KEYS TO SUCCESS/LESSONS LEARNED
Traditional energy supply system can be sustainable
Clear understanding of the project design and implementation requirements and commitment by both beneficiaries and field agents are essential to maintain project achievement and sustainability
Localized sustainability is not sufficient, community forest management should be extended nationwide
Diversification of the economic base in participatory villages and the strengthening of local institution and organizations are essential to sustainability and poverty alleviation
Gender investments are real poverty alleviation
