The project is successful in plantation in 200 ha (slash and burn agriculture) of land through different fodder and grass species which helped in increasing carbon sink in the area. Likewise, the project also installed 70 Matribhumi improved cooking stove saving 35,040 kg of fuel-wood per year and annual emission reduction of 52,560kg of carbon dioxide in the air. eThe installation has also helped to reduce the health hazards of women and children as such cook stoves improved indoor air pollution, conserve forest resources and reduce the dependency on forest and save time and fuel-wood,

As part of conservation and livelihood initiatives, the project allocated 30ha of land for forage management, initiated conservation tillage practice and organic vegetable farming in 15 ha and 9.5 ha respectively. Moreover, 60ha of forest land has been conserved from forest fire. The project also helped to expand irrigation command area with 16 ha through conservation ponds and 42 ha through improvement of irrigation facilities. It initiated climate resilient crops such as turmeric, ginger, taro, peanuts, sweet potatoes, papaya and pineapples in 6 ha of land and plantation of Moringa Oleifera in 2 ha of the private forest land.

The project reformed existing social institutions with Gender and Social Inclusion approach and created new institutions as per the nature of the project's activities. A total of 6 (4 CFUGs and 2 cooperatives) existing institutions have been institutionalized through trainings, exposure visits, and institutional supports. Similarly, a total of 28 CBOs have been formed (ICS groups-4, farmer's groups-6, fire control team-2, pond management committees-6, irrigation water user's committees-2, vegetable groups-4, climate resilient groups-4) and capacitated through regular coaching, mentoring, trainings and institutional support.

The project was successful in developing meaningful partnership with Heifer International Nepal, Poverty Alleviation Fund, KISAN Project/USAID, KUBK/USAID, Forest Sector Office Dohote, Dohote Community, Nagdev Agri-cooperative Ltd., Farmers groups, water users' association, and fire control team. Partnership with Heifer International Nepal has helped in improved animal husbandry. Partnership with Poverty Alleviation Fund, KISAN Project/USAID, KUBK/USAID Nagdev Agri-cooperative Ltd., and farmer's groups has supported to increase farmer's income through seed support, and technical backstopping. The partnership with Dohote Community, water users' association, fire control team clubs to undertake conservation activities. The project was successful in generating additional NPR 48,88,044. Co-funding not only increased the interest of locals but also fostered the accountability of local stakeholders which further helping in sustainability of the project's initiated good practices and actions.

Local farmers have been successful in generating additional income from vegetable farming and climate resilient cash crops. They have earned NPR 3330000 (NPR 74000*45 families) from vegetable and NPR 3618000 (NPR 67000*54 families) from climate resilient cash crops.

Women Empowerment
Out of total project's beneficiaries, 49% are women and 51% are men. The project trained 30 local leaders (60% are women) and mobilized them to lead the project's activities. Agro-forestry in 200ha shifting cultivation blocks benefitting 418 families of which 60% are women. Likewise, women beneficiaries are more in different project activities such as Forage management (59 families- 80% are women), Vegetable farming (45 farmers- 80% are women), Fire control team (4 groups- 50% are women), benefits from Irrigation (59 family- 80% are women) and Climate smart agriculture (54 family-70% are women). Analysing the gender budget, 55% of project budget spent were for women.
