PILOTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF NON_TIMBER FOREST PRODUCTS (NTFPs)
This project is intended to pilot the establishment of 20ha Plots of NTFPs in Four Communities in River Gee County. Non-forest timber products (NFTPs) form a greater sector of the Liberia economy; in spite of this, little is known about the meaningful contribution this section could make to induce growth by creating sustainable jobs and the opening of new markets for local communities and at the same time empowering these communities to make informed decision in the sustainable management of their forest resources.
