Independent Forest Monitoring in Tanzania
Following the release of the TRAFFIC report on illegal logging in Tanzania in May 2007, TNRF has secured funding from the Royal Danish Government for designing a programme on Independent Forest Monitoring (IFM). TNRF is acting as the facilitating agent for the design process on behalf of the Tanzania Forest Working Group and in close liaison with the Director of Forestry and Beekeeping.
The objective of the IFM programme is to establish a functioning, broad-based and legitimate IFM process in Tanzania that contributes to good governance, effective forest management and national development with the buy-in of government, civil society, local communities and the private sector.
