Background Information

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), serving as Executing Agency for the UN Development Programme (UNDP), is assisting the Government of Ecuador in improving and expanding the facilities of the Forestry Training Centre in Conocoto in order to meet the demands of the Forestry Administranion for forest rangers and guards, and to train foremen and skilled workers for forest industries. The project also involves the establishment of forestry extension programmes, and of an experimental and demonstration forest. UNDP/FAO assistance entails provision of experienced staff in forestry disciplines to strengthen existing and newly appointed staff at the Centre through in-service training; the awarding of fellowships to instructors for training abroad; and the furnishing of specialized equipment.
