Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective?

This is helping to establish near to natural forests that will provide enhanced environmental benefits and greater ecosystem resilience. The community consultation process is being mainstreamed and this is much appreciated by the participating communities and households. More than 61,620 hectares of plantation forest have been established or rehabilitated, which is about 101% of the project’s target. Through afforestation and protection of existing underground growth, canopy cover in the project area has increased between around 4% in naturally regenerated forests to 23% in fully replanted forests at MTR. More than 40 tree species have been planted in the project areas, which diversified the forest ecosystem. As planting and forest rehabilitation work is now complete, and the future focus of work will shift towards tending and improving newly planted and rehabilitated areas. The provincial and county PMOs will provide timely training and technical assistance to forest staff and farmers on better forest management including pest management, fire prevention and control, weeding, natural vegetation promotion and pruning. The attentions will be also paid to the project impact evaluation and dissemination.
