Synopsis (short abstract) Following the ban in logging of natural forests in 1989, Thailand instituted a number of measures to promote private sector involvement in forest plantations. Small farmholders were encouraged to invest in forest plantations, especially by raising long rotation indigenous timber species. While the programme achieved much enthusiasm at the start, only about 40 percent of the planned 1.2 million hectares were planted despite the provision of various incentives. The Royal Forest Department followed this up with other measures which likewise did not fare well and hence sought the assistance of FAO in developing a well-defined national strategy to promote tree cultivation in private lands to meet the demand in wood supply. This publication documents the outcome and recommendations of the FAO Technical Cooperation Programme project begun in 2009 entitled “Participation of Tree Plantation Farmers in Sustainable Forest Management”.

The project aimed to build the capacity of farming and forestry stakeholders to mitigate climate change and improve land conditions by adopting climate-smart agriculture and sustainable forest management policies and practices. Its geographical focus was five townships in three priority agroecosystem zones: Ayeyarwady Delta, Central Dry Zone, and an upland, shifting cultivation zone. There were two executing partners of equal status: the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation and the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation. The project maintained its alignment with stakeholder priorities despite some major changes that occurred between the project’s initial design and the terminal evaluation. Effectiveness overall was moderately satisfactory, with a mixed picture in achieving outputs and outcomes, and major hindrances stemming from COVID-19 and the political emergency rule. Recommendations included: future similar projects should have a bridging phase in order to plan a follow-up project for broader implementation; and centralized monitoring systems should be created along with exit strategies. Available institutional resource bases must account for the replication and scalability of project-piloted approaches and models – and avoid “development islands”.
