Background Information
The Support for Community Forestry and Wildlife Management Project (GCP/MOZ/056/NET) started in 1997 to assist Mozambique institutions in developing and implementing policies for community involvement in sustainable forest management.

The project has three components directly related to its immediate objectives. It aims to:

Motivate rural communities and make them capable of caring for and managing the natural resources that surround them for their own benefit;
Provide an institutional environment for the implementation of community forestry and wildlife management by strengthening the forest services at national, provincial, and local levels with regard to the legal status and land use rights of the communities and
provide formal forestry education and strengthen forestry research to support the implementation of community-based natural resources management.

Field activities are concentrated in the provinces of Maputo and Nampula, which have the highest deforestation rates in the country. Deforestation is mainly caused by poor agricultural productivity associated with high population growth, forest fires, and high demand for fuelwood both in urban and rural areas. The local communities are being supported through the Provincial Forest and Wildlife Services so they can gradually assume the management of the Narini Community Forest, comprising an area of 12,000 ha. The area is now being used for community-based management for sustainable timber and fuelwood production, carpentry, and non-wood forest products.
