Community based sustainable dryland forest management
The programme provides support and forestry services to local communities willing to take up ownership of forests, and communities with existing ownership over forests. The support has two facets; 1) supporting the communities to follow and complete legal procedures to obtain ownership over forests 2) supporting the communities in preparing management plans, and technical aspects of forestry and forest management which include establishing and maintaining nurseries, forest regeneration, and sustainably harvesting forest products. The programme, with intermittent support from international donors, has transferred permanent ownership of 8000 ha of forests to local communities, and it has transferred temporary/probationary ownership of 10,000 ha of forests to local communities.
