Our work in capacity building is focused on improving the lives of rural communities in  through use of forest resources. We do this by developing and implementing innovative programmes, which are inclusive and at the same time build capacity in different sections of society. Our primary focus is on marginalized caste groups and tribal groups who have been a traditional resource base for forest products.

FOREP supports local communities in their efforts to live sustainably and improve their lives with strategies like agroforestry, permaculture methods (such as using waste materials), organic farming methods and even empowering women to start small businesses.
