Skill development programs encompass formal and informal approaches, undertaken by public agencies and private organizations alike. These programs typically fall into two categories: those focused on reskilling, upskilling, or acquiring new future skills, possibly with placement or entrepreneurial opportunities, and those leading directly to employment or self-employment. Both public and private sector initiatives, including formal marketing chains, start-ups, and CSR interventions, follow similar models. Whether through schematic programs or entrepreneurial ventures, skill development plays a crucial role in preparing individuals for the evolving demands of the workforce.

This study aims to identify indicators of success, factors promoting success, and further measures to enhance Community Forest Cooperatives (CFCs). Through stakeholder discussions and analysis, factors such as SPV registration, leadership composition, and land ownership emerged as influential. Success is measured by factors including application approval time, operational speed, machinery utilization, and economic metrics. Recommendations will address improving SPV registration processes, leadership training, and aligning CFC purposes with community needs. Understanding these dynamics will facilitate the sustainable development and effectiveness of CFCs in community forestry initiatives.
