The paper represents an attempt to improve (by adding People) and then apply the Nature, Wealth and Power framework to a set of community forestry activities in one area of Madagascar. The authors interviewed members of the community, forest service and NGOs. The application of the framework revealed that there were gaps in the ability of the approach to meet all dimensions of the framework for all participant groups. The paper concludes that the PNWP approach to design may result in interventions “that are more responsive to the gamut of interests and relationships..., take into account the different forest ecosystems and relative needs of the community and therefore prove to be more sustainable in the longer term.”
