Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetInfographic: Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) Programme 2016What are the costs of illegal logging ? Illegal logging and the associated trade break down carbon-rich forests, interfere with sustainable forest management, threaten Livelihoods and contribute to the loss of biodiversity. Illegal logging represents about 30 to 100 billion USD annually or 10 to 30% of the global timber trade. FLEGT FAO Programme has supported more than 200 projects in some 40 countries producing tropical timber since 2008

Since 2016, the Programme has supported over 200 partners from civil society, government administrations and private sector in tropical timber-producing countries to enact locally-defined solutions, such as national timber traceability systems, to strengthen forest governance and increase legal timber production and trade. Programme actions have increased the capacity of national and local actors to ensure the sustainability of interventions and have fostered co-operation between actors in the forest sector. -

No results found.The FAO-EU forest law enforcement, governance and trade (FLEGT) programme seeks to reduce and eventually eliminate illegal logging. With the support of its donors, the European Union, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), the FAO-EU FLEGT Programme funds projects created by governments, civil society and private sector organizations in Latin America, Africa and Asia to improve forest governance and promote trade in legal timber products on domestic and international markets. The Programme works in support of the European Commission’s Action Plan on FLEGT to promote the legal production and consumption of timber. The evaluation looked at the third phase of the programme, which remained a significant contribution to the goals of the FLEGT Action Plan. The increased capacity of service providers (particularly beginner non-governmental organizations and civil society organizations) and micro, small and medium-sized enterprise associations was considered the most significant change generated by the programme. The promotion of South-South cooperation proved to be an important aspect of capacity enhancement. Thanks to increased capacities, but also multi-stakeholder platforms and improved policy and regulative tools, a positive incipient impact on more inclusive forest governance has been achieved. More information and independent forest monitoring provided an important contribution to improved enabling conditions for legal timber trade and on the information of timber legality, even though the actual market impact is still limited. Recommendations to FAO and its project partners and stakeholders include actions to take away institutional, fiscal, technical and political barriers to scale up results, and actions to strengthen the sustainability of results, gender equity and social inclusion, knowledge management as well as monitoring and evaluation.
