The use of non-wood forest products (NWFPs) is an important area of forest management that relates to both the conservation of natural resources and the food security of forest-dependent people. The NWFP sector is complex, however, given the huge variety of landscapes, species and cultural patterns that characterize communities in different regions of the world. Therefore, the role of women in NWFP-related activities can differ substantially, even within the same country. Case study - Mobilization and strengthening of capacities of small and medium enterprises for the production of non-wood forest products in Central Africa (GCP/RAF/408/EC).
