Overall it was found that institutional capacity for strengthening forest tenure for forest dependent communities exists, but significant gaps were identified in all countries and all types of organizations. All three countries need to strengthen dialogue and cooperation between the different actors to identify measures and activities that will have direct livelihood improvement benefits and increase the income of forest dependent communities. All three countries need to increase their capacity to manage conflict and grievances over forest tenure rights, including their ability to recognize and analyse conflict, develop platforms for dialogue and negotiations, and increase their capacity to manage conflicts collaboratively. They also need to explore developing an integrated and strategic approach to strengthening the capacity of institutions is needed to address the gaps. This can be achieved by dedicating sufficient resources, coordinated and continued development of capacity building products and services, and integrating capacity building as a main element in forest tenure activities of government organizations and civil society organizations.
