Description
FARM-Africa and SOS Sahel Ethiopia run a program called “Participatory Forest Management Programme” in the forests of Bongo, Bomana, Chi limo (Ethiopia) as well as in the Tanzanian Nou forest.
The programme ran from 2002 to 2007 and aimed to achieve environmental sustainability and biodiversity conservation by supporting the development of innovative participatory forest management plans that secure the rights, revenues and responsibilities of forest users.
Outputs of the project include the establishment of sustainable forest management systems, the development of new forest policies and the adoption of non-timber forest product technologies by local communities.
