The USAID Cambodia Supporting Forests and Biodiversity Project (USAID SFB), implemented by Winrock International improves conservation and governance of the Eastern Plains and Prey Lang Landscapes. To assist forest communities to improve governance and obtain equitable benefits from forest resources, USAID SFB developed this NTFP (Non-Timber Forest Products)-Based Livelihoods Enterprise Development and Management Training Manual.
This manual provides a practical framework and technical guidance to develop sustainable natural resource extraction. USAID SFB envisions that this manual will be used by forest communities, development partners, government institutions, and NGOs to train persons who will train others as well as to train community members directly.
This NTFP Training Manual consists of six modules:
We hope this NTFP Training Manual will encourage sustainable harvesting, improve market development, and increase incomes to forest communities through improved sustainable management of Cambodia’s limited natural resources.
