The long term goal of the forestry sector is to increase the people’s prosperity in a sustainable and equitable manner. In accordance with this goal and the forestry development vision for 2006 to 2025, the following main objectives have been established: a. The creation of a strong institutional framework for forestry development, through: 1) The establishment of efficient, cost-effective and accountable forest management institutions, covering government, private, and community institutions at the central, province and region/village levels. Also the establishment of a forest management unit which is in line with the distribution of forest resources for the sustainable benefit of national forest resource functions and potential. 2) The development of sufficient competent and professional human resources in the forestry sector. These human resources will be located in the most appropriate areas. 3) The proportional increase of society’s role in the forestry sector. 4) The synergistic institutionalization of roles, rights, responsibilities, and connections between communities and forest management institutions. This would be supported by laws and regulations that provide for the interests of all forestry stakeholders. This Development Plan aims at an increased value and sustainable productivity of forest resources through: 1) Guaranteeing the existence of the Forest Area at an optimal size. This will be achieved by increased legal provisions and legitimization of the Forest Area at a sufficient area that is proportionally distributed, a decrease in forest degradation, and an increase in forested areas and expansion of planted forest. 2) Optimization of the hydrological services of watersheds to ensure: a) Increased forest ecosystem quality; b) Maintenance of ground water supplies, stable river flows, and continued clean water supplies to meet the needs of society and downstream economic activities; c) Prevention of land slides, flooding, and drought. 3) Conservation of biodiversity in conservation areas and Forest Area with other functions. Reaching a stable conservation area which is comprised of National Parks (TN), Nature Parks (TWA), Forest Parks (TAHURA), Game Parks (TB), and Preservation Areas (CA). Conservation of forest resources will be supported by appropriate policies and regulations as well as through the use of biological resources for research and commercial purposes. 4) Optimal utilization of forest resources for forest products (also non-timber), recreational and environmental services to enhance the forestry contributions to the national economy, employment, and to reducing poverty by at least 50% near the Forest Area and nationally, by 2025. It also aims at ensuring optimal watershed (DAS) management to maintain the quality and hydrological functions of forest ecosystems, achieved through several steps, including: 1) Encouraging policies and watershed management that are cross-sectoral and crossregional, and that allocate management responsibility along the water supply chain. This will be based on efforts to create stakeholder awareness of the importance of watershed functions for activities in various sectors (including: agriculture, fisheries, clean water supply, river transportation, industry, trade, and electricity generation), and of the role of closed forest cover in watersheds to reduce flooding, erosion, and drought. 2) Increasing the role of communities in sustainable and transparent watershed management. Communities will have a role in all stages of watershed management from planning, to implementation. This will conform with existing technical watershed management norms and will improve watershed functions for the benefit of all. 3) Strengthening policies and promoting CDM as a mechanism for improving rehabilitation and increasing social awareness of the watershed rehabilitation program (Figure 33).
