This factsheet outlines the achievements and learning of the Hariyo Ban Program during its first five years. The Program is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and is implemented by four core partners: World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere (CARE), National Trust for Nature Conservation (NTNC), and the Federation of Community Forestry Users, Nepal (FECOFUN).

The first phase aimed to reduce adverse impacts of climate change and threats to biodiversity. It worked on three core interwoven components – biodiversity conservation, sustainable landscapes and climate change adaptation – with livelihoods, governance, and gender and social inclusion (GESI) as crosscutting themes. It operated in two landscapes: Terai Arc Landscape (TAL) and Chitwan Annapurna Landscape (CHAL). The first phase was implemented from 2011 to 2016; a second phase will run for another five years.
