Forest Governance Project: agroforestry communities, Honduras
The Forest Governance Project, financed by the European Union, is developed in Belize, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, by ...
The AMPB evolved as a platform of indigenous territorial governments and community forestry organizations; its members represent many of the communities that live on the most densely-forested lands in Mesoamerica.
Federacion de Productores Agroforestales de Honduras (FEPROAH) is a second level institution made up of 52 community organizations that perform community forestry in 400,000 hectares of forest in Honduras; all those local organizations bring together more that 15,000 people.
This project supports internal strengthening of these grassroots organizations, which work in a highly unstable and threatening environment characterized by low political support to community forest management, institutional weakness and consequently low capacity of territorial control.
