    Small-scale forest enterprises 1987
    Also available in:
    In response to government concerns, FAO has begun to develop more information on the nature of small forest enterprises, their contributions to rural incomes, the constraints that hold the small entrepreneur back, and the opportunities that strengthening this sector hold for improved rural incomes. An initial step was the commissioning of a number of case-studies. This was followed by the convening of an expert consultation in Rome in October 1986, on which the lead article by Arnold, Chipeta an d Fisseha in this issue is based, the proceedings of which will be published as an FAO Forestry Paper in late 1987. The other two "theme" articles are a report on charcoaling enterprises in Kenya by M. Kinyanjui and an assessment of the potential of forestry cooperatives by K. Kilander.

    Strengthening Evidence-Based Forest Policy-Making. Linking Forest Monitoring with National Forest Programmes 2014

    This paper proposes an approach to assist countries in ensuring that NFM planning more strongly meets the needs and demands of forest-related national policy processes. The approach is based on an understanding that there is a multiplicity of issues and legitimate interests related to forests that require multipurpose information systems. The approach is also based on the following two assumptions: 1) that the technical, financial and administrative design of an NFM system is based on the inform ation needs and user requirements of various policy processes and stakeholders; and 2) that strong stakeholder involvement is needed at all stages of NFM planning and implementation.
