This study is based on the experience on community-based forest enterprise development and on the existing enabling environment in the Gambia. It was done on the request of Forest Trends, in order to contribute to a wider study issued by the International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO) on Community-based Forest Enterprises in Tropical Forests countries (Status and Potential). It complements the Gambian Case Study "Empowering communities through forestry: Community-based enterprise development in the Gambia" which is based on the same project experiences but which is more focused on the MA&D processes.
