Most forests in Tanzania have been managed under state ownership regime but have
been faced with enormous pressure leading to degradation. Joint Forest Management
(JFM) was introduced in 1998 aiming at improving conditions of forest reserves and
livelihood of the adjacent communities, one of which being the Handeni Hill Forest
Reserve in north eastern Tanzania. Data were collected in 2001 and 2004 on forest
inventory and socio-economic attributes of the adjacent communities. Comparisons
were done to determine significant changes on forest conditions and livelihood. The
study showed a non-significant positive impact on basal area (m 2 /ha), and volume
(m 3 /ha), but had no impact on improving farming productivity. There were positive
trends on reduced wood energy consumption, increased tree planting and promotion
of non wood forest products (NWFPs). The realized benefit stream has positively
influenced villagers on acceptance and participation in JFM related activities. It is
concluded that a period of 3 years was not long enough to show a significant impact
on the forest conditions and livelihood. It is recommended that more efforts are
needed to strengthen JFM and more long term studies are needed to monitor the
performance of JFM. |
