A support programme for the sustainable development of savannah and degraded forest areas, or “Programme d’appui à la mise en valeur durable des zones de savanes et de forêts dégradées” (PSFD) in French, it focuses on the provinces of Kwilu and Tshopo.
The general objective of the programme is to “contribute to the appropriation by farms and agricultural SMEs of sustainable practices for the development of savannah lands and degraded forests, in order to consolidate local economies, maintain forest landscapes and reduce pressure on forest resources, through an improved service offer.”
It aims to support the transition from mining agriculture to efficient and responsible agriculture, by promoting agricultural projects that are economically viable and capable of adopting agroforestry and agroecological practices that allow those involved in local agriculture to stay on their land.
