چکیده
1 BACKGROUND The National Forest Programme (NFP) was put in place in Tanzania in 2001 as an instrument to implement forest policy for a period of ten years (2001-10). Its ultimate objective is: "to reduce poverty and increase economic growth by managing forests sustainably without compromising environmental and cultural values.” The primary strategies that are currently implemented for realising this objective are clarifying land tenure and providing a transparent legal framework; establishing a reliable database on forest stocks and resource use, including a valuation of currently unaccounted forest services/externalities; promoting private sector investments and communitybased forest management; facilitating the emergence of a self-financing forestry sector; and decentralizing the delivery of public services.
