Region/Partner

All participating universities and research entities have longstanding and excellent research and teaching experiences in tropical forestry in general, and in the field of wood production systems, including the socio-economic and political framework condition of farm forestry. They cooperated intensively before, for example in the BMBF-funded projects Welcome to Africa and CHAINS.

The three African core partners, Hawassa University (Ethiopia), Sokoine University of Agriculture (Tanzania) and Makerere University (Uganda), are the guiding centers for forestry research and teaching in their respective countries, with a high reputation in East Africa, sub-Saharan Africa and the world at large. The associated partners are incorporated for knowledge exchange and support.
