The original Project Development Objective: “to assist the Recipient in its effort to lay
down the foundation for a collective integrated ecosystem management system of its forests and
adjacent lands” remain unchanged. The expected outcomes of the AF would be: (i) an increase
in land area with Sustainable Land and Water Management in targeted areas measured by the
number of additional hectares of forests or degraded forests brought under sustainable
management; (ii) the number of forests reserves with management plans effectively
implemented; (iii) an increase in the capacity of the National Forests institutions to implement
forests management plans; and (iv) an increase in the initial capital of the CTF.
