Synopsis (short abstract) The manual capitalizes on the experience of the Division over the last ten years of following the Analytical RED-IFO Model of Regionalization of Demand and Policy Differentiation, as well as accompanying measures in Information, Training, and Organization. It offers a tool for thinking and training for managers and trainers. The manual is based on the experience of field projects, on the results of the Technical Consultation on organized Decentralization organized by the Division in 19 97 and on a series of publications on this same theme which was subsequently initiated.

    Small-scale forest-based processing enterprises 1987
    Also available in:

    Small-scale forest-based processing enterprises comprise an important, but neglected, part of the forestry and forest industries sector. They process a large part of the raw materials from the forest and supply some of the main markets for forest products, in particular in the rural areas of developing countries. Our concern in the work reported on in this publication has been to determine the main features, prospects and problems of such small-scale enterprises and what support could enhance their developmental contribution, and therefore the developmental impact of the forest sector. Many small enterprises are currently unstable, and offer little security or prospect of self-reliance for those engaged in them. These problems need to be tackled by promoting viable enterprises run by rural people through effective participatory organizations which can increase peoples' control over their own economic destiny. External supp ort to increase production and efficiency needs to be compatible with those valuable elements of local culture which still have a role to play in the modern context.

    Decentralization and devolution in forestry 1999
    Also available in:
    Attempts to shift management functions and powers can take any number of forms on a sliding scale from complete central control of forest resources to complete decentralization and devolution of both authority and power - although solutions at either extreme of the continuum are generally inappropriate. This issue of Unasylva examines a number of topics related to the redistribution of authority and power for forests and forestry. For the most part, the issue springs from the debate advanced at the International Seminar on Decentralization and Devolution of Forest Management in Asia and the Pacific, held in Davao, the Philippines, from 30 November to 4 December 1998. A number of articles in this issue were originally presented at the seminar, the organizers of which have been instrumental in the shaping of this Unasylva issue - their assistance is appreciated.
