(viii)Promote and maintain the greening of the urban environment while meeting the increasing demand for forest products by urban and peri-urban centers. (ix)Ensure improved land tenure system and land use act/plan as incentives for individuals and communities in particular to invest in forestry.(x)Help private owners and communities to reserve land for forestry.(xi)Build capacity and systems for the state and local government to engage actively in forest resources management and development.(xii) Provide enabling environment (legal and regulatory) that promote long term private sector forestry investment.(xiii)Develop partnerships or management agreement with local communities that improve forest management and alleviate poverty.(xiv)Strengthen synergy and collaboration with NGOs and CBOs in facilitating forest development.(xv)Develop and promote responsive, affordable, well-informed and decentralized forestry advisory services to farmers, communities and the forest industry.(xvi)Develop and support demand driven, well-coordinated forestry research and training programmes.(xvii)Develop a forest sector programme that complements programmes in related sectors.Priority Areas of the Forest PolicyPolices are implemented through design and execution of programmes.
