According to the bank document, the project aims to "improve participatory sustainable forest management and increase benefits from forests to communities in target areas.
Target areas include community forests, protected areas (public and community), and priority areas selected for forest restoration on public forest land (in watersheds, on hillsides, mangroves, etc.). Intended direct beneficiaries of project interventions would include community forest user groups, including vulnerable forest dependent communities, and sectoral government institutions. Indirect benefits will also accrue to farmers / rural communities through improved provision of environmental services by forests; national and regional governments; private sector (indirectly through improved enabling environment); and government budgets through enhanced fiscal revenue from value chain developments."

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF WORLD BANK
The World Bank Inspection Panel is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by a World Bank-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the Inspection Panel, they may investigate to assess whether the World Bank is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. You can contact the Inspection Panel or submit a complaint by emailing ipanel@worldbank.org.
