  • Project description
    The sector goal of the project is to help reduce deforestation and forest degradation in the natural forests, and fight poverty in the Congo Basin. Its specific objectives are to: - Expand forest cover and carry out forest regeneration in savannah woodland; - Improve the living conditions of communities living around the LBR and establish a local governance system - Contribute to the development of the national REDD strategy. The CBFF grant resources will be used to protect 20,000 ha of natural forests threatened by deforestation, establish an area of 5,000 ha of controlled savannah woodland and create 1,000 ha of new agro-forestry areas for about 10,000 households. The project will also make it possible to establish 200 nurseries and 30 pilot agro-forestry farms as well as build the capacity of the communities concerned and local government. 10,000 agricultural households will benefit through the 50 existing Local Development Committees from project support in drawing up a land inventory, development of agricultural production systems and reforestation/regeneration systems (agro-forestry, controlled management of anthropogenic savannah, fuel wood production, natural forest protection, etc.). In addition, thirty (30) pilot smallholder farmers will receive support through the establishment of integrated production systems and 500 smallholder planters will receive assistance for planting small private woodlands.
