The program guides investments into conserving and developing Uganda's forest resources over the long term, aiming to support sustainable socioeconomic development, landscape-level climate resilience and broader benefits in carbon storage for climate mitigation. It encourages watershed-level planning, and expects to result in reduced deforestation/degradation, efficient governance, resilient livelihoods and economic returns, and attract increased investment in ecotourism and high value-added wood products. It emphasises the need to upscale effective existing projects in forest land management, and to work across the value chain, for instance at the demand side, in promoting more efficient biomass cooking.
