The 2.5 million USD 4 year project got started in April 2006.
The long-term objective of the project is to promote the development

East African countries, with a focus on markets as the driving
force behind such sartorial development. The project will contribute
to the reduction of poverty in Rural, degraded and marginalized
areas by turning bamboo - the "poor man's timber"
into a cash crop for wood substitution creating rural and urban
employment and value-addition to ultimately improve the economy
