The project contributes to the nationwide Forests and adjacent lands Management Program (FALMP). The project development objective is to promote socially, technically and economically viable management of forest and adjacent lands resources by communities, within a strengthened institutional framework in order to: (i) improve land management; (ii) increase carbon sequestration; (iii) prevent loss of biodiversity; and (iv) promote activities that ensure alternative sources of income for communities.
