DocumentAndean Countries: A Strategy for Forestry. Case Studies, Volume II of V: Bolivia
Programmes and Projects
2006Also available in:
No results found.This report was prepared within the framework of the FAO/World Bank Cooperative Programme of the Investment Centre. This study has two overarching goals. First, it provides a critical review of the main features, threats, and challenges faced by forests and forestry in Bolivia regarding the provision of goods and environmental services, and their implications for economic growth, and people’s well being. Second, it offers some key elements contributing to the formulation of a national strate gy aimed at sustainable development of Bolivian forestry. By so doing it provides inputs for a blueprint strategy of the World Bank that seeks to determine which might be the critical actions for helping to achieve sustainable forestry management in the Andean countries. The World Bank forestry policy, launched in 2002, provides general guidelines for the World Bank’s investment support in the forestry sector. This policy, however, needs to be complemented by some country-specific strategies. Th is document helps to such effort by assessing the Bolivian case.The specific objectives of this document are: (1) to carry out an initial assessment of the forest resource-base in the country, and the dynamics underpinning forest management, (2) to critically examine the contents of current forest policy and their implications, and some inter-sectoral linkages, (3) to offer an assessment of the main obstacles impeding the achievement of sector policy objectives, (4) to examine forest policy priorities as stated in the country’s development strategies, and other related legislation, and (5) to suggest relevant areas of interventions harmonizing them with the World Bank priorities. It is expected that the sum of these different objectives will contribute to the design of alternatives for forestry investment in the country that could play an effective role in stimulating an environmentally sound and equitable economic expansion to contribute to poverty alleviation in rural areas. -

Book (stand-alone)Agrifood systems and COVID-19
Analysis of policy responses in countries with food crisis situations (2020-2021)
2022Also available in:
No results found.The report provides a comprehensive, cross-country analysis of the impact of COVID-19 on agrifood systems in 15 countries and territories experiencing food crisis. The cross-country analysis is based on individual country profiles and findings that are generally valid across the countries. Each country profile describes the policy measures enacted by governments, development and humanitarian partners to contain the virus, including measures taken to protect the functioning of agri-food systems from major disruptions. The profiles assess the effects of such measures on agrifood systems and vulnerable groups, including long-term implications and the investments necessary to make agrifood systems more resilient in future. The report is structured around key messages and findings that are generally valid across the profiles. Examples are used to illustrate some of the policy measures, their impacts and lessons learned.
