Application Deadline: 10 May 2023

At RECOFTC, we believe in a future where people live equitably and sustainably in and beside healthy, resilient forests.

We take a long-term, landscape-based and inclusive approach to supporting local communities to secure their land and resource rights, stop deforestation, find alternative livelihoods and foster gender equity.

Project Background
Forests are important in the global carbon cycle, carbon sequestration and storage.

Although Viet Nam increases in overall forest cover, there has been a reduction in both total hectares of natural forests and forest quality.

To contribute to reducing land-based emissions and increasing forest carbon sequestration in Vietnam through reduction of deforestation, natural forest degradation and poor timber plantation management practices, USAID Vietnam initiated and implement the USAID Sustainable Forest Management Project (the Project) in seven provinces in Vietnam (Lao Cai, Son La, Hoa Binh, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Quang Tri, and Quang Nam) in the period of


The goals of the Project are to (1) avoid carbon emissions from natural forest conversion; (2) Increase carbon sequestration through better management of plantation forests; and (3) Improve quality, diversity and productivity of natural production forests.


The Project will implement a "Green Prosperity" approach that strengthens local communities' ability to protect their natural resource base and reduce emissions while building a strong foundation for sustainable livelihoods and equitable economic growth.

Engagement with the private sector and improved co-management by communities, local authorities, and the national government are at the core of Project activities.


The Project will focus on five main objectives:

  • Improve and expand community forest management
  • Increase conservationfriendly enterprises in forestdependent communities
  • Increase functionality of law enforcement system for forest crimes
  • Improve production forest management practices
  • Mobilize domestic resources for forest management and protection

Specific tasks and duties
