Strengthening Entrepreneurship in Productive Forest Landscapes

The development objective of the Strengthening Entrepreneurship in Productive Forest Landscapes Project for Mexico is to strengthen sustainable forest management and increase economic opportunities for forest-dependent people and enterprises in selected forest landscapes in Mexico. The project comprises of two components. The first component, strengthening forest management, conservation, and business development will finance forest sector demand-driven incentive programs that aim to support local communities, other landholders, and forest dependent people in sustainably managing forests, as well as increasing economic opportunities from forest resources. The second component, institutional development and facilitation support seeks to support the preparation of a BioCarbon fund (BioCF) emission reduction (ER) program. It consists of following sub-components: (i) strengthening national forestry commission (CONAFOR) and cross-sector coordination; and (ii) strengthen beneficiary advisory services.
