The "Sustainable Private Forest Management II- SPFM II" project continues to serve the objectives of the SPFM I project. Specific activities and measures for the development and continuation of future cooperation between the German and Kenyan associations were recommended in the report on the short-term assignment of the AGDW experts during the SPFM I project. The aim is to support the development of the young forest owners' associations (TGAs) in Kericho and Nyandarua via exchange of experience in association work as well as technical advice on sustainable forest management. In addition structural and technical assistance measures for improved forest management at bilateral level between German and Kenyan forest owners will be identified. Practicable solutions for new projects will outlined in workshops. Therefore, this short-term project serves to initiate further projects in the field of sustainable private forest management (SPFM) in order to support Kenyan private forestry through further exchange of experience in association work, through comprehensive theoretical and practical silvicultural training and through the creation of forests as learning forests for private forest owners in the form of initial afforestation of open land areas and through the reforestation of devastated forests.
