Goal & Objectives
The project aims to strengthen the country’s efforts for reforestation and sustainable forest management made by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MAF) and the Office of Director General of Forestry, Coffee and Industrial Plants (DGFCIP) through the development and dissemination of agroforestry-based reforestation models in collaboration with MAF Development Partners (DPs), NGOs, and local communities. The main objectives are outlined as follows:
- Promote reforestation throughout the country by developing and disseminating agroforestry-based reforestation models suitable for introducing in different natural conditions in the typical agro-ecological zones in the country and effective in satisfying the needs of local communities;
- Strengthen institutional capacity of MAF and DGFCIP and the relevant offices to promote reforestation and sustainable forest management in collaboration with MAF, DPs, NGOs, and local communities; and
- Build and strengthen linkages with relevant stakeholders in the country as well as the region, especially with AFoCO member countries, for knowledge sharing and scaling up of agroforestry-based reforestation models.
