**3.4 Development of Forestry Based Enterprises (FBEs)**

Support Forest Enterprise development as alternative livelihoods. Viable forest enterprises depend not only on market demand but also on the sustainable management of resources. However, there are constraints that will affect FBEs and they should be addressed. These include: (a) inadequate information on markets; (b) weak linkages between small suppliers and large buyers; (c) limited access to credit, finance, capital and technology; and (d) shortage of business and technical skills.
