Commercial forestry to improve rural incomes and climate change. “Sawlog Production Grant Scheme” is a project
run by the Government of Uganda with European Union and Food and Agricolture Organization (FAO) of the United
Nations. It is a project in 3 phases, (third phase started in 2015 till 2020) that aims to support small, medium
and large scale of holders to establish commercial forest plantation for production of timiber, poles and fuel
wood. The project is open to both women and men, but most of the holders are Women. “We started the project
with men but most of them took the money to drink, so we decided to continue alone” said one of the holders.
This project allows the families empowerment and allow children to attend schools and universities.
