Project/activity information

The aim of this pre-project is to contribute to increasing the standard of living of the rural population in the mountain forest area through their organization and participation in the sustainable management of renewable national resources.

The pre-project is implemented in the District of Banteay Meas and Angkorchey, Kampot province, in an area of 3,900 ha allocated by the Government for community forestry.

The main expected outputs are related to creating awareness among communities, NGOs, field foresters, forest administrators, policy makers and other stakeholders to understand the importance of community participation in sustainable tropical forest management.

This proposal will be a pioneering programme to promote community-based forest management in Cambodia.
