The Decentralised Forest and Other Natural Resources Programme is designed for a 12-year period to support the government and communities in implementing the Forest Act 2015

The introduction phase (2015-2017), as a first phase of a programme, works on 3 main components: (i) Institutional Development for Natural Resource Sector Devolution; (ii) Sustainable Forest and other Natural Resources Management; and (iii) Rural Entrepreneurship and Alternative Livelihoods. The project is implemented in 3 districts in Muchinga province and 3 districts in NW province. The project is linked to Zambia’s ongoing decentralisation process and uses a multi-sector integrated approach for planning and implementation of activities.

备注

The MTE conducted in 2016 found that “Charcoal production issue has been largely ignored so far” and recommended the followings

- Enterprise development options based on sustainable charcoal production should be researched by the project, including a) testing recently developed interventions for sustainable charcoal production at producer and community level; b) Investigate, develop and test locally adapted incentives and localised permit systems for linking charcoal production to sustainable levels of forest production; c) Train charcoal producers in technical and business skills and management, and sustainable resource use;

- Promoting tree species that are (also) suitable for charcoal production

- The main topic to be researched as soon as possible should be the options to promote sustainable charcoal production in (and around) community forests.
