Forest Management Plan for Implementation of a Pilot REDD+ Project for Masito Community Forest Reserve, Kigoma, Tanzania for 2012-2017: Management Prescriptions

A forest management plan and particularly the management prescriptions within the plan form the basis for implementation of a forest management project and thereafter the basis for evaluation of performance of the project. The current paper presents management prescriptions for implementation of a pilot REDD+ project for Masito Community Forest Reserve, Kigoma, Tanzania for the period 2012-2017. The description of the management prescriptions is presented under 9 major sections, namely: (1) prescriptions on forest resources; (2) physical resources; (3) human resources; (4) enhancement of community participation; (5) initiatives for revenue generation and sharing; (6) inter-sectoral linkages and co-operation; (7) financial implications; (8) annual plan of operations, and; (9) plan endorsement, monitoring, evaluation and revision. The main prescriptions are that no wood would be harvested from the forest, the forest would be allowed to regenerate only naturally without tree planting, the forest would be managed by the previous REDD+ project arrangements depending on availability of funds. The plan would be approved by the Director, Forestry and Beekeeping Division. The revision of the plan would be done in 2016/17 and would be initiated by the Director of the Jane Goodall Institute REDD+ project.
