Participatory Plantation Forestry Programme (PFP 2) is a continuation of Private Forestry Programme (PFP 1) and is the second of four planned interventions in the sixteen-year programme. PFP 1 started in January 2014 and was continued until 30th April 2019. PFP 2 started on 1st November 2019 as a four-year intervention. The programme area covers nine districts in Southern Highlands of Tanzania and the main operations are centred around three forest industry development clusters of Makete, Njombe, and Mafinga.<\/span><\/p>\n

Participatory Plantation Forestry Programme (PFP 2) is to promote sustainable and inclusive plantation forestry value chains that contribute to socio-economic development and poverty reduction, focusing on tree-growing smallholders and micro, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the Southern Highlands. It focuses on villages which are already rich in smallholder forestry but where the forest value chains are not yet contributing to poverty reduction in a commensurate manner. It will improve wood markets by supporting diversification and quality improvement of wood products, whilst providing knowledge and facilitation for an enabling environment for tree growers to bring their plantations into scientific, commercial production. The Programme promotes increased incomes through business and employment, with a strong human rights-based approach (HRBA) and respect for the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n
