HIGHLIGHTS * Timber, fuelwood, and fodder are the most important provisioning services in Partnership Forest Management. * Nearby users placed fuelwood as the most important while distant users ranked timber as the most vital provisioning service. * Distant users benefit more from timber while nearby users benefit more from fuelwood and fodder. * Home-to-forest distance, landholding size and livestock units of the users are the major factors impacting the financial benefits. * Distance to the forest from the settlement is positively associated with benefits from the timber and negatively associated with fuelwood and fodder collection. Partnership Forest Management (PFM) in Nepal was initiated to balance the supply of forest products between nearby and distant users' communities in the Terai region of Nepal. This study in Buddha Shanti Partnership forest analyzed the financial benefits of provisioning services and identified the socio-economic attributes influencing such benefits. A financial analysis of provisioning services was carried out using user prices outlined in the Operational Plan of the forest and on market-price-based approaches. This shows that timber provided more benefits to distant users, while nearby users have reaped more financial gains from fuelwood and fodder. Analysis revealed that home-to-forest distance, along with landholdings and livestock unit are the major factors impacting the overall financial benefits. This shows that the inclusion of distant users in PFM has provided financial benefits from provisioning services to those users. Keywords: fuelwood, fodder, timber, financial benefits, distance, equitable La gestion forestiere en partenariat (PFM) au Nepal a ete initiee pour equilibrer l'achalandage des produits forestiers entre les communautes d'utilisateurs proches et lointaines dans la region Terai au Nepal. Cette etude en foret de partenariat Buddha Shanti analyse les benefices financiers de l'approvisionnement des services et identifie les attributs socio-economiques influencant de tels benefices. Une analyse financiere de l'approvisionnement des services a ete conduite en utilisant les prix en usage soulignes dans le Plan operationnel des forets et dans les approches basees sur les prix du marche. Ceci indique que le bois de construction offre plus de benefices aux utilisateurs distants, alors-que les utilisateurs proches ont obtenu des gains financiers plus importants avec le bois de chauffage et le fourrage. L'analyse a revele que la distance entre le foyer et la foret, ainsi que les unites foncieres et de betail sont les facteurs majeurs impactant les benefices financiers totaux. Ceci indique que l'inclusion des utilisateurs distants dans la PFM a genere des benefices financiers resultant de l'approvisionnement des services a ces utilisateurs. La Gestion Forestal por Asociaciones (GFA) en Nepal se inicio para compensar el suministro de productos forestales entre las comunidades de usuarios cercanas y lejanas de la region de Terai en Nepal. Este estudio en el bosque de la Asociacion Buddha Shanti analizo los beneficios financieros de la prestacion de servicios e identifico los atributos socioeconomicos que influyen en dichos beneficios. Se llevo a cabo un analisis financiero de los servicios de aprovisionamiento utilizando los precios de usuario recogidos en el Plan Operativo del bosque y en los enfoques basados en los precios de mercado. Este mostro que la madera proporciono mas beneficios a los usuarios mas alejados, mientras que los usuarios cercanos obtuvieron mayores ganancias economicas de la lena y el forraje. El analisis revelo que la distancia entre el hogar y el bosque, junto con la propiedad de la tierra y las cabezas de ganado, son los principales factores que influyen en los beneficios economicos totales. Esto demuestra que la inclusion de usuarios alejados en la GFA ha proporcionado beneficios financieros derivados de la prestacion de servicios a dichos usuarios.
