Because of the significant role women play in the utilization of forests, a number of projects have been implemented to integrate women in the management of nurseries, reforestation and other forestry activities. In particular, a programme for improved stoves has resulted in a significant saving of forests. Constraints include the lack of personnel, insufficient credit for women's forest activities and the insufficient involvement of women foresters. Moreover, women's lack of access to land ownership limits their forestry activities. Data collection needed.
Women have very limited access to credit from commercial banks.
The National Agricultural Credit Bank also extends credit to women. A number of NGOs also finance women's activities. Data collection is needed on the percentage of credit or funding extended to women. Extension services and agricultural training. The agricultural extension service of the country is limited by lack of personnel.
