KwaZulu-Natal has a large and segmented forestry sector which provides a major contribution to the national forestry product. It is also the province with the most significant history and investment by the private sector in small scale outgrower partnership programmes in both the timber and sugar industries. Since company– community partnerships are an increasing phenomenon and forestry policy option worldwide (see Mayers 1999; Mayers and Bass, 1999; Ahmed and Mahmood, 1998; Watson et al 1998), these programmes have been in place for a sufficient period to provide an arena for understanding and assessing the instruments and outcomes in the arrangements between companies, communities and households
