| Project Detail |
The project objective is to improve the integrated management of targeted Gazetted Forests (GFs), to increase sustainable production of fuelwood, and to increase access to better jobs in selected value chains. The GFM2 will continue to be implemented in the 11 GFs targeted under the GFM project, and including five additional and small GFs to achieve towards a sustainable forest management approach and contribute to reduced deforestation and forest degradation. Furthermore, the project will strengthen the capacity of the Forestry Administration and NTFP value chains in forest-dependent communities. The GFM2 will support the project designed targeted activities under the first GFM project, namely a combination of incentive-based agroforestry schemes, sustainable agricultural intensification, fire-risk management, establishment and maintenance of timber and fuelwood plantations, improved charcoal production, and NTFP value chain development. Overall, the project will continue to strengthen forest governance and the ecological condition of Benin’s GFs.To improve the integrated management of targeted Gazetted forests, increase sustainable production of fuelwood, and increase access to better jobs in selected value chains |
