A PROJECT that is expected to produce policy recommendations toward sustainable forest and non-timber forest products is being implemented in Myanmar, according to the Philippine-hosted Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (Searca).

Called the “Assessment of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) in Mountainous Regions of Myanmar towards Community Forestry Development,” Searca said the project was visited by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Working Group on Social Forestry (AWGS-SF) Strategic Response Fund (ASRF) program management team on February 21 to 23.
