Benefits of the Project
Environmental Benefits: this project encourages communities to conserve forest, stopping unsustainable charcoal production, and reduce CO2 emission, facilitate conservation and restoration of forest and biodiversity. Our target is to reduce 1 million t CO2 annually by conservation and restoration of forest and improved agriculture management.
Generation of Sustainable Income and Employment and Promotion of Industry: the project generates sustainable income from forest products and carbon credits. In addition, the project generates employment and promote processing of forest products.
Improvement of Soil Fertility and Modern Agriculture to Prevent Deforestation: this project intends to prevent the unplanned expansion of agricultural land and traditional slash and burn, and settle agricultural land by nature-based fertilizers, land use plan, equipment, and trainings.
Empowerment of Women: this project gives women equal opportunity to employment, access to agricultural inputs and forest products, agroforestry business, participation in community meetings and benefits from carbon credits. We ensure at least 40% of employment and project participation to women.
