1. MAELEZO YA AWALI

Mradi wa Panda Miti Kibiashara ni mradi unaotekelezwa kwa pamoja na Wizara ya Mali Asili na Utalii, Tanzania na Serikali ya Finland. Lengo la mradi wa Panda Miti Kibiashara ni kuendeleza ustawishaji wa miti kibiashara na viwanda vya timbao vitakavyokuwa endelevu wa kuwawezesha wananchi kujipatia riziki halali, na hivyo kuongeza uchumi katika Nyanda za Juu Kusini. Mradi umeratibiwa ili uweze ku-tekelezwa kwa kipindi kirefu kuanzia mwaka 2014 hadi mwaka wa 2030.

Mradi unatekeleza mpango wa kuvisaidia vikundi vya wakulima wa miti kibiashara (TGIS) kwa kuvipatia motisha mbalimbali. Vikundi hivyo vimechaguliwa kutoka vijiji vya mikoa ya Njombe, Ruvuma, Iringa, na Morogoro. Mpango huu unaelekeza namna mradi utakavyotekelezwa kati ya Julai hadi Juni 2018. Mpango wa kutoa motisha kwa wakulima wa miti unalenga kuimarisha sekta binafsi ya misitu kupitia kwa wakulima wadogo. Katika kipindi cha mwaka 2017/18 mradi unatoa miche na fedha ya palizi chini ya mpango wa kuvisaidia vikundi vya wakulima wa miti.

Mradi wa Panda Miti Kibiashara umetoa masharti ya upatikanaji wa ruzuku katika utekelezaji wa mpango huo wa utoaji motisha kwa vijiji vilivyoteuliwa ambayo ni:

a) Kutoharibu misitu ya asili, mito na vijito, ardhi oevu, nyasi za ardhi oevu na maeneo yenye umuhimu mkubwa kisayansi na kiutamaduni.

b) Mashamba yenye sifa stahiki ndiyo yatakayoteuliwa. Upandaji miti hau-taruhusiwa kufanyika kwenye mashamba yanayopata mvua chini ya watani wa mm 1,000 kwa mwaka.

c) Waombaji wa ruzuku wajiandae kutekeleza kazi zote za uanzishwaji na utunzaji wa mashamaba ya miti kwa kuzingatia maelekezo ya mradi. Pia wakubali kuyakinga mashamba yao dhidi ya moto kichaa, magonjwa na wadudu waha-ribifu.

d) Waombaji wasiwe ni wale wa kipindi kilichopita ambao walizembea kutunza mashamba waliyo yaanzisha baada ya kupata ruzuku

Uongozi wa Mradi wa Panda miti Kibiashara na Vyama vya wakulima wa miti kibiasha-ra wanayo haki ya kusitisha kumsaidia mkulima binafsi na vyama vya upandaji miti kibiashara vitakavyo zembea kutekeleza kwa ufanisi masharti yaliyotolewa.

Mradi wa Panda Miti Kibiashara na wafanyakazi wake hawana maslahi ya kiuchumi katika mashamba ya miti yanayostawishwa kutokana na ruzuku zinazotolewa. Isitoshe wafanya kazi na uongozi wa mradi hawana haki ya kuanzisha mashamba binafsi ya miti kwa ruzuku hizo. Uongozi wa mradi unayo haki ya kuzungukia mashamba yote ya miti yaliyostawishwa kwa nia ya kuchukua vipimo na kufanya ukaguzi wa kazi zote zilizofanyika ili kuhakiki kama majukumu ya wafanyakazi yanatimizwa ipasavyo, k.m utoaji wa huduma ya ugani kwa wakulima.

2. UGAWAJI NA USAMBAZAJI WA MICHE YA MITI

2.1 Ugawaji wa miche ya mikaratusi na mipaina

Mradi huwagawia walengwa miche yenye ubora wa hali ya juu ya jamii ya mikaratusi na mipaina katika vijiji vilivyoteuiwa. Miche hufikishwa shambani au kwenye barabara iliyo karibu na shamba ili kuepuka gharama kubwa za usafirishaji hadi shambani.

Katika msimu wa mwaka 2017/18, mradi unasaidia wanachama kupanda miche hiyo kwenye shamba la wanachama lililotengwa kwa kuzingatia mpango bora wa matumizi ya ardhi wa kijiji kinacho husika. Pia shule za msingi na sekondari zinastahili kupewa kiwango kidogo cha msaada wa kupanda miti kwa lengo la kutoa elimu ya miti . Jedwali Na.1 linaonyesha makundi yanaostahili kupata ruzuku ya miche na kiwango cha ruzuku wanachostahili kupewa.

2.2 Usambaji wa miche ya msaji

Katika msimu wa 2017/16 Mradi utasambaza na kugawa miche ya Msaji kwa ajili ya mashamba yaliyotengwa katika Wilaya ya Nyasa. Ili kunufaika kiuchumi kutokana na ustawishaji wa miti ya msaji, inapaswa mashamba ya msaji yatunzwe kwa umakini wa hali ya juu ikilinganishwa na yanavvotunzwa mashamba ya mipaina na mikaratusi. Mradi utahakikisha wagani wanawaelekeza wakulima vizuri namna ya kupata matokeo chanya kutokana na ustawishaji wa mashamba ya msaji. Hivyo watakaonufaika na mgao wa miche ya msaji ni wanachama tu wa kilimo cha miti walio katika ukanda wa kupandwa miti ya msaji na watakaokuwa ndani ya eneo lililotengwa kwa kilimo cha msaji kama inavoainishwa na mpango bora wa matumizi ya ardhi. Kila mwanachama ataruhusiwa kumiliki si zaidi ya hekta 0.8 sawa na ekari mbili ya miti ya msaji kwa kila ombi (Jedwali Na. 2).

1. BACKGROUND

The Private Forestry Programme (PFP) is a bilateral development cooperation pro-gramme, implemented together by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism of Tanzania and the Government of Finland. The purpose of the PFP is to help develop commercial tree growing and forest industries as sustainable livelihoods and hence in-crease wealth in the Southern Highlands. It is designed to be a long intervention, run-ning from 2014 to 2030.

PFP implements a tree growers’ incentive scheme (TGIS) to support tree growing in selected villages of Ruvuma, Njombe, Iringa and Morogoro Regions; and these guide-lines describe how it is to operate between July 2017 and June 2018.

The TGIS is intended to strengthen private plantation forestry by smallholder tree grow-ers. In 2017/18, the PFP provides TGIS seedling support and TGIS cash incentive for weeding.

As a precondition for providing any TGIS support in the selected villages, the PFP re-quires the following:

a) Natural forests, watercourses, wetlands, edaphic grasslands, and areas of sci-entific and/or cultural value are not disturbed.

b) Only the most viable of sites are selected. No planting is supported in areas that have less than an average of 1,000 mm of rainfall per year.

c) Applicants commit to conduct all plantation establishment and maintenance work as stated by the PFP minimum requirements and agree to be responsible for the adequate protection of the plantations.

d) Applicants must not have failed to look after plantations established previously under TGIS support.

The PFP and Tree Grower Associations (TGAs) retain the right to withdraw all support from individual tree growers and TGAs who demonstrate negligence concerning these commitments.

The PFP and PFP staff do not take any financial interest in the plantations that are supported. Neither PFP nor PFP staff have any rights to produce from the supported plantations. The PFP does retain the right to access any supported plantations for in-spection and measurements, in order to be able to follow up the results and provide adequate support and extension services to the plantation owners.

2. TGIS SEEDLING SUPPLY

2.1 TGIS seedling supply for pine and eucalyptus

PFP makes high quality pine and eucalyptus seedlings available in specified quantities to eligible recipients in the programme-supported villages. Wherever it is reasonably possible, the PFP delivers the seedlings from the nursery supplier to an accessible road-head near the planting site without extra charges for the service.

In 2017/18, the PFP supports planting by TGA members on common land designated for the purpose in VLUP. In addition, primary and secondary schools are eligible for limited support for planting for educational purposes. Table 1 specifies the groups that are eligible for TGIS seedling supply and the extent of support they are entitled to.

0.8–5.0 891–5,555 50% of nursery gate cost No support

≥ 5.0 ≥ 5,556 Full nursery gate cost

* For educational purposes

Furthermore, the following guidelines and limitations apply:

i. TGAs handle the seedling distribution. All charges for seedlings are to be paid for the delivering TGA.

ii. Apart from primary and secondary schools, any other institutions (including non-governmental organisations and faith based organisations such as churches) do not qualify for the TGIS seedling supply, even if they are members of TGA.

iii. Primary and secondary schools may plant on their private land, under the pre-condition that PFP Extension Officer inspects and verifies the planting site on location prior to application approval.

iv. The PFP performs plantation quality and growth checks to monitor and follow up the support delivery. Hence, any beneficiary who has received TGIS seedling support shall agree to grant the PFP personnel access to their established wood-lot for the PFP survey purposes.

v. The PFP main office is always to be consulted in any unclear application cases.

2.2 TGIS seedling supply for teak

In season 2017/18, the PFP delivers TGIS seedling supply for teak to be planted in a designated area within Nyasa District. In order to be economically viable, teak growing requires intensive woodlot management when compared to pine and eucalyptus, and the PFP needs to ensure especially effective extension service delivery to help growers reach good results. Hence, the TGIS seedling supply for teak is limited to TGA members planting on the VLUP-designated Teak Zone area only, with a maximum total area of 0.8 ha per applicant (Table 2).

Furthermore, the following guidelines and limitations apply:

i. The total maximum support allowed per a single applicant is 0.8 ha (or 890 seed-lings), regardless of the number of applications submitted by the applicant or the number of woodlots applied.

ii. Apart from primary and secondary schools, any other institutions (including non-governmental organisations and faith based organisations such as churches) do not qualify for the TGIS seedling supply, even if they are members of TGA.

iii. Primary and secondary schools may plant on their private land, under the pre-condition that PFP Extension Officer inspects and verifies the planting site on location prior to application approval.

iv. The PFP performs plantation quality and growth checks to monitor and follow up the support delivery. Hence, any beneficiary who has received TGIS seedling support shall agree to grant the PFP personnel access to their established wood-lot for the PFP survey purposes.

v. The PFP main office is always to be consulted in any unclear application cases.

2.3 Technical requirements for TGIS seedling supply provision

By applying TGIS seedling supply support, the applicant commits to performing woodlot establishment and management up to the PFP technical standards for commercial plan-tations.

The technical performance will be monitored by the PFP through field visits. The PFP retains the right to pull out further support from individual tree growers and TGAs that do not fulfil the technical standards.

The acceptable technical standards and the respective milestones for TGIS seedling supply provision are listed in Table 3 and Table 4. These apply for pine and eucalyptus as well as teak.

Table 3 Milestones and technical standards for site preparation under TGIS seedling supply

Activity Acceptable standard Not acceptable

Milestones: • Land preparation to be completed by 31 December

3. TGIS CASH INCENTIVES FOR WEEDING

3.1 Cash incentive for pine and eucalyptus

Pine and eucalyptus woodlots that have been established under TGIS seedling supply support by TGA members on land designated in VLUP are eligible for cash incentive for weeding. The cash incentive is to cover two different weeding operations once per year for the first two growing seasons (including the year of establishment).

The PFP will commence a field survey to visit these woodlots and assess whether the technical requirements for the two different types of weeding are acceptably fulfilled (Table 5). The payment requires that the both types of weeding have been completed up to technical standards in the woodlot by the time of survey and that the overall sur-vival rate is sufficiently high. If approved, the area-based cash support will subsequently be paid to the woodlot owner by the TGA Apex Body.

The TGIS cash support for pine and eucalyptus woodlots is TZS 45,000 per ha.

Table 5 Milestones and technical standards for TGIS cash incentive for pine and eucalyptus plantations


Milestones: • Circle weeding and slash weeding to be completed by 15 May

Circle weeding • All weeds within 50 cm radius around the tree to be removed

• Damage done to trees

Slash weeding • All living weeds to be cut lower than 30 cm high


Overall maintenance

• Survival rate of 80% or better during end of rainy season survival check

• Survival rate lower than 80%

3.2 Cash incentive for teak

Teak woodlots that have been established under TGIS seedling supply support in the Nyasa District Teak Zone are eligible for enhanced cash incentive for weeding. The cash incentive for teak is a more intensive version of the standard cash incentive for pine and eucalyptus.

The cash incentive for teak is to cover two different weeding operations twice per year for the newly planted teak woodlots.

The PFP will commence two field surveys during the season to visit these woodlots and assess whether the technical requirements for the two different types of weeding are acceptably fulfilled (Table 6). The payment requires that the both types of weeding have been completed in the woodlot up to technical standards by the time of survey and that the overall survival rate is sufficiently high. If approved, the area-based cash support will subsequently be paid to the woodlot owner by the TGA Apex Body.

The TGIS cash support for teak woodlots is TZS 45,000 per ha per round of weedings. Hence the maximum total to be paid per season is TZS 90,000 per ha in two payment batches.

4. TGIS APPLICATION AND APPROVAL PROCESS

Applications for TGIS support should be made to the local TGA.

The TGA together with the facilitator will screen the applications and recommend ap-proval or disapproval for each individual each application. The TGA screening process should include:

1. Observing the area allocated for planting on location and verifying it meets all technical criteria specified in Table 3 (planting sites on school private land are to be visited individually);

2. Verifying that each applicant is over 18 years of age;

3. Screening out applications from people who have failed establishing or main-taining previous PFP-supported plantations;

4. Drafting basic statistics of the applications, including:

a. Area applied by species (disaggregation of approved and disapproved applications)

b. Number of male applicants, female applicants and school applicants (disaggregation of approved and disapproved applications)

c. Total aggregate figures for the applied area and number of applicants;

5. Submitting the applications for PFP Extension Officer to screen on behalf of the PFP.

PFP Extension Officer is to observe the process on location and verify that it has been carried out and completed properly.

The final decision on the approval of the applications is to be made by a special com-mittee designated by the PFP.
