    The final evaluation of the Sawlog Production Grant Scheme Phase III (SPGS III) project, funded by the European Union and implemented by FAO in Uganda, involved interviews with the implementation team, nursery operators, forest contractors, tree planters having benefited from the project, and various institutions involved. The project provided technical and financial support to private tree growers to establish and maintain commercial plantations to acceptable national standards and led to the certification of private nursery operators and forest contractors with the aim of ensuring high-quality inputs and management of forest plantations. In so doing, the SPGS has helped set and enforce quality standards in plantation forestry and contributed to growth in rural economies. However, market opportunities will be a key determinant of sustainability for tree growers, and it was noted that there was limited capacity developed in the field of value addition and commercialization.
