FORZA
FORZA is a technical collaboration project between the Swiss and Ukrainian governments, and financed by the Swiss government through SDC. The project encourages the exchange of know-how and the implementation of internationally acceptable practices and standards in forest resources management. INTERCOOPERATION - the Swiss Foundation for International Development and Cooperation - implements FORZA in collaboration with the Educational Forestry Center in Maienfeld. The Project Coordination Unit (PCU) in t. Uzhhorod is responsible for local project coordination.
FORZA is carried out in partnership between Ukrainian and Swiss organizations that have jointly determined the objectives and focus of the project. The main Ukrainian partners are: the State Forestry Committee of Ukraine, PU "Ukrderzhlisproekt", the Oblast Forest Department, the Transcarpathian Forestry Technical College in Khust, Khust and Rakhiv pilot state forestry enterprises. The project also collaborates with many more stakeholders, such as local communities, private sector representatives, NGO's working in different sectors, various administrative bodies in Transcarpathia, and environmental and research institutions and universities.
Since FORZA focuses on Transcarpathia and particularly on the Rakhiv and Khust state forestry enterprises the main benefits of the project are in these areas. However, the combined long-term effects of FORZA will not only benefit the partners who are directly involved in project activities but will have a positive impact on Transcarpathia and the Carpathian region as a whole. Replicating improved participatory management practices in other regions will help to create conditions in the forest sector that are not only environmentally sustainable but that encourage economic development and long-term investment.
