This National Forest Plan has been developed by Forestry Sector Support Department (FSSD) with financial support from FAO-NFP facility and FAO-Technical Support programme (TCP) grant to address the deteriorating situation in the forestry sector. It is a contribution to the implementation of the National Development Plan (2010) which placed forestry at the centre of Uganda’s development agenda by categorizing it as a primary growth sector. The “Business Approach” in the NDP provides a re-orientation of forestry resource management with special attention to developing forestry-related enterprises.
