Monitoring of production-related activities. A wide range of production activities were financed under the project new woodlots, the maintenance of old woodlots, clear-felling, and the replanting of mature plantations, for example. Detailed physical and financial information was not maintained at the individual enterprise level, however. This would have been best collected through regular stock assessments to estimate growth rates more clearly. The resulting information would have been valuable in two ways. It would have made it possible to more accurately determine the financial returns to beneficiaries at the household level. At the state plantation level, it would have informed policy decisions on investment in the sector.
