Descripción
The economic contributions of forests in Eastern African countries have not received the desired attention in terms of policy and budgetary allocation needed for sustained growth of these forests. This, among other reasons, has led to the reduction of forest zones and an increase in the import of forest-related products, resulting in dwindling foreign currency reserves. This paper attempts to showcase the economic contributions of forests in Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda in order to illustrate the multiple benefits derived from forests and the potential contribution of forests to national economies and GDP.
