The project interventions will include preparation of community led natural resource management plans. The CLLMP has the following three components:
Strengthening Knowledge and Capacity of Communities for Natural Resources Management
Community-Led Landscape Planning and Implementation
Project Management and Governance
The project objective is “to manage and conserve the natural resources, especially forests, soil and water sources, in a manner that supports the financial and physical well-being of communities in the State”
