Aboriginal Centre for Research and Development Focussed on Commercialization of Forest Products and Services - Proposal for Development of the Concept and Business Case [National Aboriginal Forestry Association, NAFA]

This concept paper includes a planning and development process as a first phase of establishing an Aboriginal Centre for Research and Development Focussed on the Commercialization of Forest Products and Services. The proposed planning and development process will consist of refinement and validation of the concept, the preparation of a supporting business case, the recruitment of partners, and the identification of funding sources. To launch the planning and development process, an early commitment of potential partners willing to contribute feedback and consider ongoing involvement over the longer term, is required. The planning and development phase will be carried out over a period of four months coordinated by the National Aboriginal Forestry Association (NAFA).
