The successful implementation of B-BBEE in the Forest Sector requires partnerships at different levels:
| • | Between different sub-sectors because of vertical integration and horizontal interdependence between different operators in the value chain. |
| • | Between large corporate and small-scale enterprises that operate in the sector: their joint effort is needed to deal successfully with many of the challenges facing the sector and to secure the transfer of skills and mentorship support to empower black owned enterprises to be able to succeed and thrive in the competitive business environment. |
| • | Between the industry (with its managerial and technical skills as well as financial resources) and government (that contributes resources and controls the policy and regulatory environment in which the industry operates). |
| • | Between industry and local/rural communities: these communities should both benefit from B-BBEE and impact on the socio-economic context in which the forest enterprises operate. |
