argued thatCBFM is like letting the communities manage the leftovers, i.e.,poor quality forests yielding limited benefits but with hightransaction cost of management. Even under such a situation,Chomba et al. (2015b) in Kenya argued that communities do nothave full control over revenues generated from CBFM because ofstrong interference and involvement by the government, henceless benefits to the community. Mutune et al. (2017) also arguedthat PFM or CBFM did not give communities the decisionmaking power over high-value forest products such as timber andfirewood and hence if PFM has to succeed in its objectives, thereis a need for further devolution of rights.
