Book (stand-alone)Forest policies, legislation and institutions in Asia and the Pacific: Trends and emerging needs for 2020 2010
Also available in:
No results found.Over the past decade the Asia-Pacific region has experienced tremendous changes in nearly every aspect. These changes have been particularly profound in the forestry sector, where society has dramatically increased its demands and expanded its expectations for goods and services. Almost all countries in the region have moved towards sustainable forest management at the policy level and in many countries institutional structures are also gradually changing. This report reviews the status and tren ds in forestry policy, legislation and institutions in 12 countries and outlines the extent to which changes in these areas have been effective in supporting transitions towards sustainable forest management. Trends in governance and efforts to tackle illegal logging are also assessed. The report highlights the need to develop consensus over the roles of forestry in national development as a fundamental pre-condition for improving forest management. Policy measures should promote economic growth balanced with resource conservation and poverty reduction. This involves clear and equitable allocation of rights and responsibilities, application of appropriate technology and environmental safeguards, and removal of disincentives for investment in forestry. Most of all, forestry institutions need to be flexible and responsive in capturing opportunities and striving to optimize the contribution of the forestry sector to emerging needs. -

No results found.Forests and woodlands in the United Republic of Tanzania play an important role in the country’s economy and in nature conservation, ensuring environmental and livelihood opportunities for communities, by providing a variety of products and services However, forest degradation and deforestation are among the key challenges faced by the forestry sector This situation tends to threaten and undermine the sector’s potential for its contribution to conservation, poverty alleviation and economic development objectives Against this background, the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania requested that FAO provide support to review national forestry policy The forestry policy review process started in 2017 and was completed in February 2018 and the new draft forest policy was produced and submitted to the Government However, forest sector management challenges persisted, including uncoordinated and fragmented implementation of forest sector plans and programmes In addition, there was insufficient human and institutional capacity, self financing and intersectoral cooperation to achieve the desired outputs and benefits for forestry development at national and local levels In view of this, the Government requested that FAO provide further assistance to address the implementation mechanism of forestry policy in particular, to develop a national forest policy implementation strategy, and to review the national Forest Management Act of 2002.
