Synopsis (short abstract) Forests and rangelands in the Near East countries have been an integral part of the society, providing a wide array of goods and services. Public policies and institutions play a critical key role in ensuring that these resources are managed sustainability taking due account of the changing demands of society. While policies are revisited and revised regularly, often institutional reforms lag far behind, adversely affecting resource management and thus the supply of goods and services.Though the study has been carried out during a short time period, yet it gives very useful insights into how the institutional system as regards forest management is evolving over time.

Promoting Private Sector Investments in Sustainable Forestry: Expert Workshop on Financial and Institutional Innovation for Reducing the Risks of Private Sector Investments in Sustainable Forestry 2016

Also available in:

No results found.

This workshop was organized in the framework of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) led initiative on “Financial and institutional risk mitigation and management strategies”. This initiative stems from the lack of significant funding for the forest sector in key areas of intervention such as forest plantations, natural forest management, small and medium forest enterprises, local and community forestry, and large‐scale forest investment projects including REDD+, whi le private capital is available for investments. Underlying efficient business models can bring substantial financial returns to investors in all these activities, but many traditional investors are still reluctant to invest.
