The Forest Policy Green Paper

This is a Forest Policy Green Paper and as such is a working document and not a formal policy document. It should not be interpreted as the policy of the Government of Swaziland or the Ministry of Agriculture and Co-operatives until it has been finally agreed and adopted. A National Forest Policy will be an outcome of this discussion document.
