The Forest Policy (2010–19) was formulated with the objective of establishing an institutional framework for the Department of Forestry (DoF) and non-governmental stakeholders to manage and implement natural resources programmes within the country's forests, woodlands and savannas. An important component of The Gambia's existing Forest policies is the promotion of decentralized natural resource management (including inter alia community forests, forest reserves and conservation areas) to community-based committees. The Gambia has recognized the importance of the potential contributions that could be made by community-based management committees towards the country's objectives of sustainable management of the environment and natural resources. The principle of community-based management as a cost-effective approach to support sustainable management of natural resources is widely recognized in The Gambia.

In the area of protection, development and sustainable use of forest resources, the Government has consolidated its achievement in community forestry programme by handing over 78 community forests to local management committees, covering a total area of 5,335 hectares in 2015. This brought the total area of forest under community ownership and management to 37,000 hectares. This figure is expected to increase as there are over 450 communities nation-wide participating in community forest that are yet to be handed over to the communities. Additionally, under the Green Climate Fund, the Department of Parks and Wildlife Management together with the Department of Forestry is currently implementing programs aimed at improving the Protected Area Network and enhanced community livelihood through sustainable land management.
