Welcome to LFP

The Livelihoods and Forestry Programme promotes more equitable, efficient, and sustainable use of forests by rural communities, focusing particularly on the needs of the 53% of households identified as being poor and socially excluded. As a 10-year programme that began in 2001, we work in 15 districts with government and civil society partners. We support more than 4,500 Forest User Groups, representing over 0.5m households, to manage 396,000 ha of forest. We work through a diverse range of initiatives that focus on sustainable forest management, enterprise development, employment, governance and social inclusion. We develop partnerships and capacity at every level and are addressing climate change mitigation and adaptation.
