Abstract
Motivation/Background: Forest management planning is an important condition for ecologically sustainable and economically efficient forest use. The current paper presents review of previous forest management plan for implementation of a pilot REDD+ project for Masito Community Forest Reserve, , Tanzania for the period 2012-2017. Method: The work mainly involved review of relevant documents enriched by discussions with project management. Results: The description of the review is presented under twelve major sections, namely: 1. of previous forest management plan document; 2. of the previous forest management plan; 3. in implementing the previous forest management plan; 4. encountered during the implementation of the previous plan; 5. that affected the implementation of the previous forest management plan; 6. of existing forest resources; 7. reserve management activities; 8. resources for forest reserve management; 9. adjacent communities; 10. and initiatives for revenue generation; 11. linkages and co-operation, and; 12. resources for management of the forest reserve. Conclusions: The review was the basis for the activities planned for the forest for 2012-2017. Also, the review should be used as baseline information for assessment of achievement of the planned activities.

Summary
Forest management planning is an important condition for ecologically sustainable and economically ef icient forest use Akishin (2014). Forest management planning allows estimation of the costs of forestry activities and matching them to expected results that are really important for inancial and economic management planning at enterprise level. Long-term forest management planning guarantees economic ef iciency, but makes the grounds for forest social and ecological values protection. Modern information technologies based on GIS provide tools for complex analysis of information about forests and give opportunities to modelling of expected results and give an opportunity for forest management planning to select the optimal way for forest management for the speci ied forest
