Project Description

The project will support the development of a business model for community based reforestation of degraded and underutilized land through the following activities:
1. Establish an efficient community - forestry company partnership through the development of a comprehensive engagement plan identifying both company and farmer expected roles. 2. Assist the Government of Lao People's Democratic Republic in providing land security for the pilot participating communities so that the farmers develop an asset and manage better the land they contribute to the project.
3. Organize participating farmers into groups and build capacity around group operation so that farmer representation improves through collectivization.
4. Enhance farmer technical skills with the help of the company so that farmers learn new farming techniques and improve productivity.
