Ajambari Community Forest User Group manages community forest in Lumbini Province and belongs to the community-based forest management category DGM Nepal explicitly prioritises. Its third-batch sub-project produces compost manure from invasive species, an unusually well-targeted design. Nepal’s Terai forests and grasslands are heavily colonised by invasive plants such as mikania, lantana, parthenium and water hyacinth, which smother regeneration, reduce fodder availability and cost user groups considerable labour to control. Turning that biomass into saleable organic fertiliser converts a management burden into revenue, giving members a financial reason to keep clearing. Grant funds are expected to cover composting pits or sheds, shredding and turning equipment, quality testing, bagging and marketing. The output serves farmers facing costly and often scarce chemical fertiliser. The sub-project delivers on two DGM Nepal aims at once: restoring degraded forest condition and generating community enterprise income from it.
