Working together with the project beneficiaries, the project will strengthen the capacity of the communities to better manage their natural resources, enhance conservation practices such as promoting increase of vegetation cover and put in place mechanisms to cope with impact of climate change.

The project will:

• provide training on management and sustainable use of forests and plants
• strengthen community skills in organisation and planning
• help create profitable and sustainable timber and non-timber activities for indigenous peoples communities, women and other vulnerable groups who have limited access to land
• contribute to strengthen CONAFOR's capacities to reach poor families
