At the risk of self publicity ... I wrote a blog about some of the business challenges for sustainable forestry in Uganda - Some of the challenges have been discussed this morning #NGP2019 https://t.co/HbHsCHSL2f
Back after lunch - #NGP2019 continues - Cecile Ndjebet from African Women’s Network for Community Management of Forests - “We need plantations to help drive sustainable economic development at a community level”
“We need to ensure SME’s & the whole supply web, are included in the thinking, at the very beginning of plantation development projects “ Milagre Nuvunga
“2/3 of textiles are based from fossil fuels - we could be making them from woods fibres” - Like this famous @europeanforest T-Shirt https://t.co/PPwoEmszsp
“We need to look beyond our landholdings, and engage with wider stakeholders and that will help us to work better with communities within our landholdings”
Good to see these great folks in ☀️Maputo at the #NGP2019 encounter. Next time will be @forestsdialogue Steering Committee meeting in New Haven in ❄ January. Remember to bundle up Milagre, Paula, Cecile and Francisco!
