?Of the 6,500 commercial timber trees that were to be planted approximately 4,100 fruit and timber have been planted with over 103 community participants.
?The number of community participants actively involved in the project exceeds the expected output of 25 residents. In fact 48 children, 40 men and 15 women have been engaged in the project.
?Four training sessions and field demonstration in Land Management practices were to be held however; with the contribution from our partner (RADA, SDC, FD, TFC) we were able to organized 23 workshops that covered the area of Land Management, Environmental Awareness and Organization Development. The community representatives have extended appreciation for the training that was completed as noted in Participatory Project Evaluation (Notes attached). 8 Community Based Organization were engaged in the training. 6 Communities participated in training activities. All the participants trained have been motivated to utilize the skills and knowledge garnered within their day to day lives.
?8 cash crops have been cultivated; this exceeds the 4 food crops that was targeted at the beginning of project. The idea behind planting the cash crops was to give the farmers some experience in how to cultivate the food crops properly using the Land Management Techniques recommended by our Partners.

The community participants received the following benefits:
?Improved capacity of project participants in the area Organization Development , Land Management Practices and Environmental Awareness
?Improvement of the environment quality of the area
?Beautification of the area
?The formation of a football team

?The community participants and CPDCBS long term benefits are :
-To increase the protective forest cover as the trees grow mature.
-The natural environment enhanced by sequestering Carbon dioxide within the woody tree stem , sheltering the soil from heavy rainfall, reducing runoff, flooding , erosion and siltation.
-The participating residents will be able to add to their livelihoods by production and sale of the inter-planted cash crops.
-The inter-cropping will enhance tree-cropping by reducing the cost of weeding and participants who are proficient at agro forestry techniques can apply them to other site
-An increase in rainfall in area.
-The CPDCBS intends to replicate project in neighboring communities
