The overall goal of the Forest and Beekeeping Policies are to enhance the contribution of the forest and beekeeping sectors to the sustainable development of Tanzania and the conservation and management of her natural resources for the benefit of present and future generations.

The implementation of the above policies are guided by the National Forestry and Beekeeping Programme (NBKP), 2001 - 2010. This provides a strategic framework and co-ordination mechanism for the integration and harmonisation of forest and beekeeping activities at local, district, regional and national levels
