Synopsis (short abstract) With global challenges – climate change, rising food prices, epidemics – putting food security at risk, there is a renewed awareness of the crucial role agriculture plays in tackling hunger and malnutrition. It makes sense. Agriculture, fisheries and forestry are still the main sources of income in the rural areas where most of the world’s 854 million hungry people live. The European Union is one of FAO’s most steadfast and generous partners in promoting sustainable rural development to improve the lives of the poor. Working together on the ground in developing countries, improving food security in emergencies, promoting food safety and quality, upgrading information gathering, sharing know-how and fostering partnerships: the EU and FAO fight poverty at its root.

    The FAO-EU FLEGT Programme supports government agencies, non-governmental organizations and private sector associations to work together in support of legal and trade reforms in timber producing countries with the aim of increasing legal trade in timber. The Programme, which started in 2008, is currently half way through its third phase of funding and covers 24 countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America. An evaluation of the third phase shows that despite significant shifts in timber markets and flows, the Programme remains highly relevant to national and regional forest governance objectives, national trade priorities and market demands. It is also well aligned to donor goals and objectives, particularly the EU-FLEGT Action Plan, as well as FAO Strategic Objectives. The Programme has achieved important results at country level including improved voice of non-state actors; increased capacity and skills; policy, legal and regulatory reforms; transparency and disclosure and improvements in timber legality.
