The Forestry Baseline Information Project is funded by the Food and
Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and is a partnership project between
FAO, The Ministry of Forestry and Land Reclamation and Lesotho
Council of NGOs. LCN have been assisted by two of its member NGOs as
researchers in the project, Rural Self-Help Development Association
and Boseele Association. The projects remit is to collect national
information on NGOs, CBOs and Private Sector organisations working
in forestry in Lesotho. The information collected will inform the
Governments new ‘National Forestry Programme’ and will be placed on
an on-line data-base that will essentially provide a civil society
‘Whos Who in Forestry in Lesotho.

The commission is
working with the Ministry of Forestry and Land Reclamation to
develop projects working with NGOs to train NGO trainers in these
areas of interest.
