The conference aims to mainstream the significant role of forestry in livelihood improvement and strengthening through knowledge-sharing among key stakeholders and, in so doing, assess its contributions to biodiversity conservation and climate change adaptation.

1.       Governance and Landscapes

2.       Agricultural Commodities

3.       Social and Biological Aspects of Forest Dependence

4.       Impact Evaluations
