The development objective of the Forest Ecosystem Improvement in the Upper Reaches of Yangtze River Basin Program for Results Project for China is to improve sustainable forest ecosystem management in support of large-scale greening Sichuan (LSGS) program. The program will be embedded in the LSGS and will seek to improve the quality and effectiveness of selected forestry operations in the LSGS (and subsequent renewals thereof) by establishing the required institutional capacity in program related areas, supporting innovative new planting techniques and forest management practices, mainstreaming international and national best practices into provincial operations, and improving the sustainability and efficiency of forest financial mechanisms. It will operate within the framework of the provincial 13th forestry five-year plan (FYP) and county-level plans. To avoid spreading program activities too thinly on the ground, its activities will focus on subprograms in the LSGS that aim at restoring forest ecosystems, improving the delivery of public goods and services, and increasing carbon capture. To provide focus for achieving the goals of the program, two LSGS related results areas (RAs) will be used: RA 1, promoting best practice for forest ecosystem management, and RA 2: strengthening institutional capacity in support of sustainability.
