An institutional support is required for the beneficiaries to promote the products they make through this solution, in local, regional and national markets. Since a single farmer cannot meet the quantity demand of the market and the distributors look for bulk quantity, a functioning co-operative has to be formed at the local level. This cooperation serves the purpose of collecting the products, negotiating the price with the distributor, supervising the manufacturing and distributing the profits. 

Various alliances had to be build to ensure the success of the programme. Collaboration was necessarry between the following stakeholders: 

• Local and provincial government and administrative authorities
• Social groups like youth clubs, women groups, agriculture committees
• Forest and land protection committes 
• Local, regional and national private sector businesses 
• Various experts, researchers and scholars in this sector

The main objective of the Portuguese Ocean Satellite Account (OSA) is to provide an economic information system for the sea. The OSA was considered the most appropriate tool to estimate the size and importance of the ocean economy to the Portuguese economy and to obtain information on the structure of production activities related to the ocean.

The OSA privileged the simultaneous treatment of supply and demand. Information was obtained, not only for the production account (output at basic prices, intermediate consumption, Gross Value Added - GVA), but also for relevant economic variables such as household and public administrations consumption, imports and exports. Thus, it was possible to estimate the contribution of the "Ocean" to GVA and national employment. Additionally, an estimate was made for paid and unpaid employment, not only due to its relevance, but also to allow assessing the results plausibility.

By applying the Integrated Input-output Symmetric Matrix System to the main results, it was possible to determine, in addition to the direct effects, the indirect effect of the Ocean Economy activities on the national economy.

The compilation of OSA at NUTS I level allowed having information for Azores and Madeira (islands), illustrating regional differences, namely different output patterns.

The scope of the Ocean Economy, considered in the Portuguese Ocean Satelite Account (OSA), aggregates activities in two main areas: "established activities" and "emerging activities” which, in turn, are divided into groups. It considers nine groups, eight of which correspond to established activities (groups 1 to 8). The last group (group 9) includes new uses and resources of the ocean, which congregates emerging activities (see figure). The adopted criterion for the classification of economic activities as established or emerging obeyed the international logic of maturity level of the markets, namely what is followed in the EU, in the study “Blue Growth” for the purpose of international comparisons.

Overall, we adopted a value chain logic considering, inter alia, the level of industry disaggregation permitted by the National Statistical System. Given this restriction, the methodological option was to consider Maritime and Marine Equipment Services as independent groups, including cross-economic activities in other groups.

Community forestry in Nepal has brought a number of benefits including an increase in income. It has helped to fight against illegal logging by putting clear rules in place on timber access and a strong system of forest monitoring. Community livelihoods have also improved with easier access to firewood and fodder and better health care and energy access, for example through money from ecotourism and subsidies for renewable energy.

Conservation oriented community forestry is essentially a participatory process that requires strong technical assistance on both policy and implementation. Expanding the property rights of local communities over resources and empowering them with knowledge, information, resources, technologies, and required skills for forest management and institution building are basic building blocks for the community forestry. Gender and equity concerns are addressed from the program design so that the poor, women, and marginalized receive fair benefits from the program.
