The objective of the appraisal was to assess the feasibility of the new draft programme, called “Forestry, Land Use and Value Chains Development in Tanzania” (FORLAND). It offered a thorough assessment of the draft project document's potential to serve as a practical and achievable guide for programme implementation. This assessment encompassed an examination of the overall feasibility, feasibility of management, implementation and financial arrangements, sector-specific factors, and the sustainability of the program. Furthermore, the appraisal determined whether the project adequately catered to the needs of its main beneficiaries and stakeholders. It also entailed identifying any potential challenges and proposing viable solutions or alternative methods to address them.
In addition, the appraisal reviewed the result orientation of the programme and likely effectiveness in Tanzania, as well as the integration of human rights based approach and cross-cutting objectives into the programme plan.
