    Since the Earth Summit at Rio in 1992, there has been a significant change in the institutional settings for forest management dialogue and decision-making. Prior to Rio, the most common paradigm could be characterized as a top down one of “government knows best.†However, in many countries this led to considerable conflict over many aspects of the way that forests were managed, not least being agreement on the social objectives of forest management. Progress became mired in uncertaint y and dissension. Since 1992, there has been a universally accepted focus on the goal of sustainable forest management, with its emphasis on integrating economic, social and environmental outcomes. Considering the broad range of people and sectors impacted by forests, decision-making in forestry can no longer be the exclusive domain of governments and the privileged groups of people. For forest management to be successful in today’s world, mechanisms must be established to ensure effective participation of diverse stakeholders in decision-making processes. The purpose of such multi-stakeholder processes is to balance the perspectives and priorities of all affected and interested individuals and groups, leading to forest management approaches that better serve the needs and priorities of all. Such processes also serve to foster wider support and a sense of ownership for the decisions that are taken, so that their implementation will be more effective. This publication is intended t o further increase the knowledge and understanding of multi-stakeholder processes in forestry in the Asia-Pacific region, leading to more rapid adoption of multi-stakeholder processes that are truly effective in delivering the diverse benefits of forests to society in a balanced and equitable manner.

    When designing projects, it is important to engage local stakeholders as early as possible to ensure that capacity development (CD) activities are truly relevant to their needs. Multi-Stakeholder processes (MSPs) can also lead to greater ownership of project activities and outcomes. This case study gives an example from Sudan of successful MSPs for developing Food Security and Nutrition Information Systems (FSNIS) in four states.

    The project was designed in response to a request from the Government of South Africa for assistance in the priority areas of food security and nutrition Efforts to implement FSN policies in an integrated manner were challenged by a lack of effective communication among the various government departments involved The structures to ensure that a multisectoral approach was implemented at decentralized levels of government were either weak or non existent and no mechanisms were in place to ensure mutual accountability The roles of these structures were undefined and the lack of an FSN information management system impeded FSN measuring, monitoring and evaluation (M& The aim of the project was to contribute to improving FSN policy processes and content development in order to reduce food insecurity in the country It would do this by facilitating the generation of baseline information on FSN indicators and policies, and by designing an M&E framework Multi stakeholder coordination of FSN issues would be ensured by establishing or strengthening multi stakeholder FSN coordination structures at national, provincial and district levels Finally FSN capacities and awareness among stakeholders would be increased through a capacity needs assessment for FSN implementation and the development of a capacity building programme Following an FAO/African Union Agricultural Ministers Declaration in April 2020 the FAO Regional Office for Africa developed guidelines to assess the anticipated impact of COVID 19 on food systems, agriculture and food security in African countries Funds from the current project were repurposed to conduct such an assessment in South Africa The aim of the assessment was to inform government responses to the crisis and put in place policies and actions to minimize the disruption of food supply chains, trade, food demand, income and livelihoods, especially among poor and vulnerable segments of the population.
