Forests and woodlands in the United Republic of Tanzania play an important role in the country’s economy and in nature conservation, ensuring environmental and livelihood opportunities for communities, by providing a variety of products and services However, forest degradation and deforestation are among the key challenges faced by the forestry sector This situation tends to threaten and undermine the sector’s potential for its contribution to conservation, poverty alleviation and economic development objectives Against this background, the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania requested that FAO provide support to review national forestry policy The forestry policy review process started in 2017 and was completed in February 2018 and the new draft forest policy was produced and submitted to the Government However, forest sector management challenges persisted, including uncoordinated and fragmented implementation of forest sector plans and programmes In addition, there was insufficient human and institutional capacity, self financing and intersectoral cooperation to achieve the desired outputs and benefits for forestry development at national and local levels In view of this, the Government requested that FAO provide further assistance to address the implementation mechanism of forestry policy in particular, to develop a national forest policy implementation strategy, and to review the national Forest Management Act of 2002.
