The second phase of the Southeast Asian Network for Agroforestry Education (SEANAFE) project was designed to enable educators from more than 80 universities and colleges in Southeast Asia to share knowledge and develop learning tools that address the interface between environmental conservation and poverty alleviation. It recognizes that the complex interface between these two areas must be handled in a holistic and integrated way if the projects is to help millions of small-scale farmers to benefit from commercial markets and, at the same time, help them to manage local landscapes. Thus, the SEANAFE Phase 2 project is guided by the overarching goal of educating Southeast Asia's next generation of educators, scientists, and political leaders, on the importance of these issues and building their capacity. It particularly focuses on those currently enrolled in forestry and agriculture universities so that they can enact effective policies and programs in the future. SEANAFE, through funding support from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), organized its Phase 2 set of activities around a series of well-defined regional projects for implementation from May 2005 to April 2009. These themed projects include: (a) Markets for Agroforestry Tree Products (MAFTP); (b) AgroforestryLandscape Analyses(AFLA); and (c) Forestry and Environmental Policies (FEP).
