DEVELOPMENT
We focus on economically sustainable forest management and restoration, considering the well-being of local communities dependent on these forests. Projects are assessed using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESMENT
We engage with community members, leaders, and stakeholders to understand their needs, priorities, and aspirations, this includes their economic situation, resources, and the potential benefits and challenges of forest projects.
VALUE CHAIN ANALYSIS
We examine current and potential value chains for forest resources within the community, from harvesting to processing, marketing, and distribution. By identifying opportunities for value and market development, we aim to create economic opportunities while promoting sustainable forest resource utilization.
MARKET RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
We conduct market research to identify potential markets for forest products, analyzing demand and pricing dynamics. This empowers the community to select products that align with market demand, facilitating market connections and bolstering economic viability.
CAPACITY BUILDING AND TRAINING
We provide training in sustainable forest management and entrepreneurship, covering agroforestry, harvesting, processing, business, and marketing. This empowers communities to actively participate in and benefit from forest projects.
