This chapter is based on research done for the Food and Agriculture Organization Livelihood Support Programme which envisaged active involvement of local community members in the planning and implementation of policies aimed at better use and management of resources. It uses cases of community-based projects in Goba, Monapo and Mecuburi in Mozambique to discuss current experiences and needs of multi-stakeholder policy-planning and related cross-sectoral policy issues. The directives to local forestry and wildlife resource management councils are presented. In addition, the necessary characteristics of community organizations and the main activities of district planning and finance progress are discussed.
