Synopsis (short abstract) The Food and Agriculture Organization Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade Programme (FAO FLEGT Programme) is an extension of the ACP FLEGT Support and EU FAO FLEGT Programmes, referred to in this report as Phase I and Phase II of the FAO FLEGT Programme respectively. The third phase has been established as a multi-donor trust fund; commitments have thus far been made by the Swedish International Cooperation Agency (SIDA), the European Union and FAO. The third phase will continue to chan nel support to countries engaged in a Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA) with the EU and other developing countries actively involved in FLEGT-related initiatives (also referred to in this document as countries not engaged in VPAs or non-VPA countries).

    This report will present the activities, successes and achievements of the FAO FLEGT Programme throughout 2016. The past year marked significant progress in the implementation of the FAO FLEGT Programme as it continued to shift from the closing of Phase II work - effective 31 October 2016 – to focus greater attention on the implementation of Phase III projects and measures. Significant work has been undertaken in Phase III to contribute meaningfully to the global body of FLEGT achievements. The Programme has continued its support mechanisms in VPA countries, launched a new methodology to assist a limited number of non-VPA countries and increased its focus on supporting the private sector so it can better understand the benefits of FLEGT initiatives and contribute to these in all the Programme’s countries of operations. Further, the information and knowledge component of the Programme has also expanded in Phase III.
