The objective of the Sustainable Forest and Landscape Management Project (SFLM) for Bosnia and Herzegovina is to build capacity of forestry sector stakeholders and to demonstrate approaches for sustainable forest and land management through integrated management of vulnerable forest, scrub and pasture landscapes. The project has 3 components. (1) Enhanced planning and monitoring for SFLM component focuses on selected activities through a targeted capacity building effort, building on existing efforts introduced and identified under the Forest Development and Conservation Project.
