The Forestry sector includes the broad range of activities pertaining to natural forest management and the rehabilitation of previously forested areas for production, protection, conservation, and resource creation. The relationship between local men and women and forests plays an important role in forestry development programs that aim to improve their livelihood. Men and women have different roles and needs in the use and management of forest resource. Given the importance of these activities for subsistence and income generation, forestry operations should take gender differences into account to improve the effectiveness of forestry projects.
