Synopsis (short abstract) The implications of the combined phenomena of climate change and human activities are leading to forest degradation and fragmentation and pose a serious threat to Lebanon’s food security, watersheds, biodiversity and to the stability of ecosystem-regulating functions and services, including the contribution of forests to the country’s tourism sector. In 2012, the Ministry of Agriculture launched the National Afforestation and Reforestation Programme. With reforestation being a strategic priority for the Government, there was an urgent need to develop the Ministry’s planning and implementation capacity.

    Assessing the governance of tenure for improving forests and livelihoods
    A tool to support the implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure
    2019
    Also available in:
    This tool is intended to help countries evaluate their forest tenure systems, particularly those that facilitate participation of non-state actors in forestry, including co-management regimes, community forestry, smallholder forestry, large holder forestry, or company concessions granted on State lands. It uses the internationally endorsed Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests (VGGT) as its basis. Forest tenure review may be conducted in the context of policy or legal reform, to inform Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) policy formulation, to improve understanding of a specific tenure system that is under-performing, or to strengthen performance of the various participatory forestry arrangements in country. The assessment tool can provide a very comprehensive understanding of tenure and governance related drivers of deforestation and forest degradation, and ways to address them.
