The programme comprises three subprogrammes, namely: Forestry Operations; Forestry Development and Regulations; and Natural Resources Management.

The subprogramme facilitates climate change mitigation and adaptation, risk and disaster management, as well as promotes, regulates and coordinates the sustainable use of natural resources (land and water).
