Improving the livelihoods of the poor and marginalized in Nepal through leasehold forestry and livestock program: A review of institutional constraints and opportunities

Abstract: The study looks at the opportunities and constraints of the contributions made by forest institutions to improve the livelihoods of the poorest, through an analysis of the Leasehold Forestry (LF) programme in Nepal - a forestry programme that aims to help alleviate poverty of forest dependent communities by leasing degraded land to the poorest. Data and analysis were primarily based from review of literature, consultations with key informants, field visits, and complemented by the authors' direct involvement in the implementation of LF programme. Although intended to improve the lives of the poorest, the LF programme could negatively affect the poorest when it excludes them or when it causes their displacement from the land that the poorest depend for their livelihoods. Such negative impacts of LF program can be attributed to its improper implementation and design. To improve its effectiveness and impact, awareness campaigns should be improved using diverse modes of communication, more line agencies should be involved in the implementation by transferring the implementation responsibility to a district-level project coordination committee, and some programme provisions should be changed in favour of the poor.

Who stays, who leaves and why? Occupancy patterns at Unison Housing between 2014 and 2016

Abstract: Executive summary Social housing provides safe, secure, long-term accommodation for some of the most disadvantaged households in the community. Social housing organisations in Australia must deal with expectations to house people with complex needs, build more cohesive communities and, at the same time remain financially viable. Their work occurs in a policy environment that entails ambiguities around whom to house, and the amount of time for which it is desirable to accommodate people living in social housing. For social housing providers tenancy turnover can be a serious issue simply because high turnover can have significant social and economic costs. For Unison to achieve its social and economic objectives, as well as effectively engage with the complex policy environment in which they operate, a robust understanding of occupancy patterns and their determinants is necessary This report examines tenancy turnover at Unison how long people stay and why they leave. Although there are several ways of examining tenancy turnover this report examines tenancy decay rates, or the proportion of tenancies that remain intact or exit, within a specified period. The report examines decay rates among 967 tenancies that commenced in 2014, 2015 and 2016 in order to answer questions: What are the decay rates at Unison Housing? Have the decay rates changed over time? Why do people leave Unison housing

THE IMPLIED MARKETING COVENANT IN OIL AND GAS LEASES: SOME NEEDED CHANGES FOR THE 80's

Abstract: Anticipating an increase in litigation on the lessee's duty to market natural gas which has been discovered on the leasehold, the authors review the lessee's obligation under the implied covenant to market. In light of the increased pressures on the lessee by federal regulations and the downturn in demand, any reevaluation of the nearly 100-year-old covenant should focus on the standard of conduct and standard of proof by which a lessee's marketing activities are to be judged; i.e., a review of the continued viability of the reasonably prudent operator standard. A review of case law finds that in those instances where the parties to a lease share a common interest in production, the lessee should be allowed to exercise his business judgement without fear of second guessing by judge or jury. The increase of the standard of proof to a clear and convincing evidence level achieves an acceptable compromise.
