BGF focuses on the need to fight poverty by promoting massive tree-planting and sustainable agricultural programs through microfinance, educational programs and water supply for rural communities. BGF is responsible for the planning, physical plantation, hiring, planting the trees, and conducting Environmental Impact Assessment and Feasibility studies. The company also publishes Miti, a Tree Business Magazine for Africa.

The World Agroforestry Centre
The World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) is a CGIAR Consortium Research Centre. ICRAF’s headquarters are in Nairobi, Kenya, with five regional offices located in Cameroon, India, Indonesia, Kenya and Peru.
The Centre’s vision is a rural transformation in the developing world as smallholder households strategically increase their use of trees in agricultural landscapes to improve their food security, nutrition, income, health, shelter, social cohesion, energy resources and environmental sustainability.
Sawlog Production Grant Scheme
Sawlog Production Grant Scheme (SPGS) does what you might expect: it funds the establishment of timber plantations. It also, however, provides professional technical advice, training and research grants to support private growers throughout Uganda. SPGS is tackling head-on the massive looming timber crisis in Uganda and at the same time is addressing key development goals – notably, rural poverty, mitigating climate change and ultimately (by taking the pressure off natural forests to supply timber) biodiversity conservation.

It distinguishes itself as a socially committed and pluralistic university in a broad international perspective. Their 11 faculties are composed of more than 120 faculty departments.
