Description/achievement of initiative
To populate indigenous tree species to produce, fruit juices, fruits, herbs, stock feed, people feeds, organic paints, special timber, indigenous tree species nursery and those trees that are nearly extinct. To engage communities to create indigenous trees plantations that are climate change resilient. Engage local authorities, council and Forestry Commission to rehabilitate deforested, mountains and valleys with indigenous species that are climate change resilient . Establish production plants; juice making plant, pallet making plant, people feeds production plant, organic paints production plant, pesticide production plant and herbs production plant, all using indigenous trees. Create a biodiverse forest that will have lodges.
Implementation methodologies
Jongi's Woods Pvt Ltd collect seeds of indigenous species and plant the nursery to the demand of the market (for sail) and woodlots.
The initiative will provide indigenous trees nursery to the community for free which the community will maintain up until the tree bears fruits after 5 years, 10 years, 15 years and 20 years, where Jongi's Woods Pvt Ltd will come and buy the fruits and an agreed price determined by market dynamics and in between Jongi's Woods Pvt Ltd will be monitoring plantations progress.
Jongi's Woods Pvt Ltd will apply for land (15 hectares to 30 hectares) to council, local authorities, to rehabilitate deforested mountains, valleys or any piece of land. On this land Jongi's Woods Pvt Ltd will supply nursery and maintain the woodlot for years until fruits could be realized and move to the next place given by the local authority or the government.
After 5 years of maintenance of the woodlots, Jongi's Woods Pvt Ltd will buy juice making plant, pallet making plant, pesticide production plant, paint making plant, people feeds production plant.
Arrangements for Capacity-Building and Technology Transfer
Jongi's Woods Pvt Ltd is now seasoned and experienced in planting indigenous species trees and nursery. All the knowledge will be transferred to communities to increase production. Through workshops, training graced by forestry commision, plant quarantine department and climate change department.
When harvest is near, workshops and training graced by Nutrition Department, Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and Fruit Research Centre representatives will train the community to enhance quality production and high productivity.
Companys' production engineer will train plant operators on how to operate the plants.
Coordination mechanisms/governance structure
This initiative has two faces, that is, profit making and non profit making initiative. All activities that includes community building are not profit making but the community will be given a chance to make profit from the initiative. For this reason, the initiative will have two independent management, profit making will be managed by Jongi's Woods Pvt Ltd and non profit making will be managed by the community based leadership, that is headman, District Forestry Commission Officer and such instance Jongi's Woods Pvt Ltd will be facilitator (contact organization) , initiator and supplier of indigenous species nursery. The organizers will be the Forestry Commission and District Admistration Office.
Jongi's Woods Pvt Ltd have a Chief Entrepreneurial Officer, Civil Engineer, Production Engineer and Public Officer and when the fruits are near ripe, will employ a Post Harvest and Food Scientist Officer.
The Production Engineer in consultation with Forestry Commission Department and Plant Quarantine Department is responsible for the operations and plant designs to be established when trees bear fruits.
The Public Officer is the company's accountant, the civil engineer will design lodges for the woodlot.
