The United Nations Office for Project Services was appointed as cooperating institution. The project completion date and loan closing date was 30 June 2003 and 31 December 2003, respectively.At project completion date, 1773 leasehold forestry groups had been formed, 12028 households had been included, and a total of 7 457 ha of degraded forest land had been handed over,while the total expenditures amounted to USD 12.0 million.
