This factsheet gives a summary of the impact of FFF support in Myanmar.
Forest and Farm Producer Organizations (FFPOs) business capabilities built from bottom up with Forest and Farm Facility (FFF) support.
• Business-oriented, first-tier FFPOs called Community Forest Product Producers Associations (CFPPAs) established
at village level in the Chin, Shan and Rakhine states of the Ayeyarwady region by eight local NGOs
supported by FFF. Before FFF began work in 2013, very few community forest businesses existed in Myanmar.
• FFPOs built tier by tier, raising incomes for producers of tea, coffee, palm leaves, honey, rattan, and other goods.
• Business plan development triggered by training in FFF’s Market Analysis and Development approach and
through NGO mentoring and peer-to-peer exchanges with more developed community forest businesses.
• Major policy changes catalysed at regional and national level by engaging regional level producer associations.
Changes included: national Community Forestry Instructions (CFI) revised; new Community Forestry Unit created
with Myanmar’s Forest Department staff assigned to the new unit; transfer of tenure of some 200 000
hectares to communities; community forestry user groups extended to 3 000 members from 740.
