Purpose : Research in the field of forest ecology & environment, livelihood development, community development.
Aim/Objective/Mission : CEDAR aims to bridge the gap between policy makers and development practitioners by bringing rigour of applied research to the wealth of grassroots understanding of development, environment, livelihoods, and rural communities. The Centre for Ecology Development and Research (CEDAR) works on issues of ecology, environment, and development primarily in the Himalayas. CEDAR works with communities, policy makers, and development practitioners to bridge the gap between theory and practice, policy and implementation. We do so by linking applied research to ground initiatives on the one hand and the output of such collaboration to various external stakeholders on the other hand. We believe that such initiative would help establish a better understanding of the ground realities while, at the same time, help document best practices for replication, subsequent programme design, and optimal allocation of funds.
