📋 Tender Overview
During 2025, the Forests Project executed a training plan in forestry business plans and in the management of primary transformation centers, through the BPS-ITP agreement. In addition, it delivered 80 technological equipment to regional governments and the Technical Forestry and Wildlife Administration, and provided technical assistance to 16 native communities to obtain forestry exploitation permits.
The Forests Project promotes access to forest resources through enabling titles, technical assistance and training for sustainable forest management. In addition, it promotes primary transformation, added value and access to markets for forest products of legal origin to improve the competitiveness and sustainability of natural forest production in Peru.
Provision of technological equipment to the Forestry and Wildlife Management Units of regional governments
A total of 50 computer equipment was delivered to the Forestry and Wildlife Management Units (UGFFS), of the management of the regional governments of Loreto, Ucayali and Madre de Dios with the purpose of optimizing the technical and administrative processes associated with the implementation of forest management, improving attention to forest users and reducing the times for the granting of enabling titles and the approval of forest management plans.
Likewise, 15 pieces of equipment were delivered to the Technical Forestry and Wildlife Administration of Selva Central to strengthen the operation and functionality of the Regional Forestry Authorities and the operation of the Forestry and Wildlife Management Units in Satipo and Oxapampa.
Forestry exploitation permits in Ucayali and Loreto
More than 58 thousand hectares of forests, belonging to 16 native communities of Loreto and Ucayali, today have permits for the use of wood, aguaje fruits and copaiba oil, thanks to the specialized technical assistance of the Forests Project.
Having these permits allows more than a thousand families to legally access forest resources, plan their use in a sustainable manner, strengthen community forest management and generate economic opportunities without compromising the sustainability of ecosystems.
Specialized training to improve the competitiveness of primary wood processing.
A total of 119 representatives of primary processing centers in Ucayali and Loreto strengthened their technical and management capabilities to improve the primary processing of wood with a market focus, as part of the actions promoted by the BPS - ITP agreement.
The training was developed through specialized technical assistance that included the evaluation of the technological aptitude of commercial forest species, the standardization of timber products and the approval of goods derived from the forest. Likewise, specialized courses were taught in sawmilling techniques, quality control, sharpening and maintenance of saws, monitoring of production processes and cost management, and strengthening the formulation of viable business plans.
These actions will contribute to raising the quality of forest products and improving the competitiveness of the sector.
Participatory diagnosis of forestry production chains
The Forests Project developed a diagnosis of forestry production chains with the participation of producers and forestry associations in various intervention regions. This process made it possible to identify technical, productive and organizational gaps, as well as opportunities for productive diversification, access to markets and strengthening the formalization of the forestry sector.
The information collected constituted an input to design differentiated and focused strategies that respond to the productive, social and environmental dynamics of each territory for the preparation of the Management Manual and the bases of the Forestry Forest Incentives Program.
Conclusion
With these actions, the Forests Project contributes to the transformation of forest management into sustainable opportunities, strengthens capacities, boosts the competitiveness of the sector and contributes to the conservation of natural forests.
