Supporting small forest enterprises

The goal of this toolkit is to help supporters of small and medium forest enterprises (SMFEs) work more effectively. The toolkit has been arranged in a series of self-explanatory modules (or tools) for different elements of SMFE support divided into three components. Component one deals with broad international considerations on setting up capacity building programmes for SMFE support (primarily aimed at donors). Component two provides considerations on national level planning and capacity building, before providing in component three more hands-on advice for direct facilitation activities. The idea is that practitioners at any level can dip into sections that catch their eye, and those unfamiliar with enterprise support can read through the toolkit in a logical way.
