Improving livelihoods and income of forest dependent communities is important in the context of poverty reduction efforts, enhancing food security and sustainable management of forest resources. In order to achieve improved livelihoods and income for those people one of the main barrier is lack of strong and secured tenure. Their access to forest resources and land are not adequately protected by policies, policy implementation and law. There two main elements that explain the situation: 1. Weak and/or lack of forest tenure policy frameworks that can protect the rights and access of forest dependant community to resources available in the forests. Where policy frameworks exist they often not implemented adequately due to various reasons, e.g. lack of human resource capacity, knowledge, budget, skills, etc. 2. Weak and/or lack of institutional capacity to implement and support the process to strengthen forest tenure. Countries often lack knowledge and skills to support the process of strengthening forest tenure. New tools and approaches need to be introduced and institutionalized to cope with rapid changes and changing demands of society on forests. The main purpose of the TCP is therefore to strengthened regulatory frameworks and institutional capacity of pilot countries on forest tenure. In the long run forest dependent communities in pilot countries are expected to have more secured and stronger forest tenure rights as a key prerequisite for ensuring the contribution of forests to their livelihoods and income.

The main objective of the project is to strengthen phytosanitary capacity of NPPOs and technical supporting organizations/entities (e.g. universities) of the recipient countries. This will be achieved through providing technical and operation manuals, organizing field and laboratory trainings and workshops and developing recommendations to be used by the respective NPPOs, in implementation of phytosanitary activities for international movement of seeds. In addition, the promotion of changes in the consciousness of general public and related private sectors through this project will contribute to preventing introduction and spread of pests associated with the international movement of seeds. Also, the project achievements and findings can be useful reference for the member consultations on the draft ISPM on seeds, which has been elaborated in the IPPC framework, and will contribute to the harmonization of relevant phytosanitary measures.
