TNRC Practice Note | Tracking the trade: Increasing efficiency and transparency in Tanzania's timber sector

The forestry sector is immensely important to Tanzania's economy but corruption robs much of the revenue and the government's ability to effectively manage timber harvesting. This practice note from TNRC partner TRAFFIC explores how the timber tracking system has improved data management and traceability along Tanzania's timber products supply chain. Additionally, it shares the experiences, views, gaps, and challenges encountered and suggestions for further improvements of the frontline users of the system.
