| Project Outline: | The Vietnam-Finland Forestry Sector Co-operation Programme in brief
The Programme started in March 1996 and the first phase will last three years. The Programme is financed jointly by the Governments of Finland and Vietnam. The geographic coverage of the Programme is concentrated in the mountainous regions of Bac Kan Province where forestry is taken as a key potential activity which could contribute to social and economic development. Local population, mainly people from different ethnic minorities, suffer from social and economic problems due to lack of income generating opportunities. At the same time the mountainous regions are facing severe deforestation and forest degradation due to mismanagement and non-optimal use of the resources. The development objective of the Programme is to contribute to sustainable rural development in the mountainous regions of Vietnam, through the integration of forestry activities in the rural land-use and economy. The target groups of the Programme are rural households, ethnic groups, professional personnel at province, district and commune level and in national forestry administration. The Programme strategy is to introduce and disseminate sustainable forest management and other farm-forestry practices as viable alternatives to shifting cultivation and other forms of unsustainable land use. The Programme implementation will be a continuous process of participatory learning and application. The following Programme components form the implementation strategy (i) community development, (ii) capacity building, (iii) dissemination and (iv) monitoring and evaluation. The immediate objectives respective to the above components are (i) established and tested mechanism to assist farmers/forest owners at the village level, (ii) improved capacity of the existing institutions in providing services for forestry extension, (iii) transferred practical experience from the pilot villages/communes to neighbouring areas, province level and finally national level and (iv) established monitoring and evaluation system at different levels. The implementing agencies of the Programme are Department of Agriculture and Rural Development in Bac Thai Province and Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, while the People?s Committee of Bac Thai Province and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development are the competent authorities of the Programme. The supporting consultant is Indufor Ltd in partnership with Enso Forest Development Ltd and FTP International Ltd.
