The Forest Instrument is a voluntary agreement of member states of the United Nations Forum on Forests to enhance sustainable forest management and reduce deforestation and forest degradation. More than 80 participants from various institutions including government ministries and agencies, non-governmental organizations, private institutions, civil society organizations, the universities and youth groups , traditional authorities and the media were in attendance. The participants were presented the context and origin of the Forest Instrument, its purpose, and the policies and measures that countries need to implement. They were also presented the results of c onsultations held in the fifteen counties. Participants worked in three groups to determine Liberia’s situations relative to the implementation of the policies and measures of the Instrument. They identified several policies and measures of the NLBI that are currently not adequately addressed. Through a prioritization process, participants agreed on five (5) policies and measures that Liberia needs to pay a lot more attention to, if the country is to move forward towards sustainable forest manag ement. -

The meeting was attended by 43 experts from 22 countries, representing governance authorities, intergovernmental organizations, academia, research institutions and the private sector. Twenty presentations were delivered, namely: (1) National Competent Authority: role and experiences; (2) Inter-governmental organization: role and activities/experiences related to investigating specific mass mortalities of aquatic animals; (3) Producer and research/academic sectors: role and activities/experiences related to investigating specific mass mortalities of aquatic animalsand (4) Global Burden of Animal Diseases (GBAD). The meeting successfully achieved its objective of taking stock and sharing experiences and lessons learned which were used for generating recommendations for the further development and improvement of the draft FAO Decision-tree for dealing with aquatic animal mortality events and supporting guidance. The meeting generated an annotated table of contents for this decision-tree document with the following major sections, namely: Introduction; Phases in an Emergency; Elements of an Emergency Response (Preparedness Phase, Response Phase, Recovery Phase); Decision-tree for Mass Mortality Events; Conducting Field Investigation; Tools and Guidance; and Case Study Examples. It is expected that this document will be made available in 2021.
