Forestry,
Land Use, and Value Chain Development in Tanzania (FORLAND) is a four-year
bilateral project between the governments of Finland and Tanzania (2025-2029).
The Project area includes the Iringa, Njombe, Ruvuma, and Lindi regions, which
are rich in natural and plantation forest resources. The main headquarters is
at Forest and Wood Industries Training Centre (FWITC) in Mafinga.

FORLAND helps small woodlot owners establish and
manage tree plantations, as well as rural communities manage their Miombo Village
Land Forest Reserves using Community Based Forest Management. The project also
strengthens the value chain, assisting communities, tree producers, and micro,
small, and medium enterprises in adding value to their goods. It builds on the
success of the Participatory Plantation
Forestry Programme (PFP 2) and Forest  and Value Chain Development Programme
(FORVAC)  to ensure the long-term viability of the
achievements and institutions supported. It also closely aligns with the
development strategies and priorities of the Finnish and Tanzanian governments,
helping to alleviate poverty, create jobs, and strengthen climate resilience.
