DocumentImproving Mediterranean woodland areas governance through participative approaches implementation. Regional Synthesis
Technical Report
2016Also available in:
This report takes place within the framework of the regional project “Maximize the production of goods and services of Mediterranean forest ecosystems in the context of global changes” (2012-2016) financed by the French Global Environment Facility together with the German Cooperation (GIZ), the French Ministry of Agriculture, Agrifood, and Forestry, and the European Union in 5 countries in North Africa (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia) and the Near East (Lebanon, Turkey). This publication aims to pres ent a regional synthesis of the results of the component 3 of the project focused on the improvement of governance through participative and territorial approaches implementation. The five participating partner countries have designed and tested participatory approaches and innovative governance structures for the sustainable management and socio-economic development of their wooded areas in selected pilot sites, namely Chrea National Park (Algeria), Bentael Nature Reserve (Lebanon), the Maâmora Forest (Morocco), the Barbara Watershed (Tunisia) and the Düzlerçamı Forest (Turkey). With a view to capitalizing and valuing the results and lessons learned, this report analyzes and summarizes the convergences and divergences of the various approaches in terms of their methodologies, activities implemented and results. It highlights the potential for replication of these approaches to other sites within the country or to other countries in the Mediterranean region. -

Lebanon has provided a nation al report on the component 3 of the project focused on the improvement of governance through participative and territorial approaches implementation. This report proposes to provide support to the management of the forest resources through improving governance while using participatory approach in Bentael Nature Reserve in Lebanon. The proposed methodology highlights the importance of engaging neighboring communities in the decision making process as to facilitate the implementation of the manag ement objectives. The methodology is participatory involving an integrated structure for regularizing the approach of the various stakeholders. -
Book (stand-alone)Mediterranean forests: Towards a better recognition of the economic and social value of goods and services through participative governance 2016
Also available in:
This report takes place within the framework of the regional project “Maximize the production of goods and services of Mediterranean forest ecosystems in the context of global changes” (2012-2016) financed by the French Global Environment Facility together with the German Cooperation (GIZ), the French Ministry of Agriculture, Agrifood and Forestry, and the European Union, in 5 North African (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia) and the Middle East countries (Lebanon, Turkey). This synthesis report prov ides a quick overview of the main results of components 2 (Assessment of the socio-economic value of goods and services provided by Mediterranean forest ecosystems) and component 3 (Improving Mediterranean woodland areas governance through participatory implementation and management approaches). This document also presents the lessons learned as well as the main recommendations issued in five Mediterranean countries.
It is vital, indeed through economic assessment, to increase the visibi lity of the contribution of the goods and services produced by Mediterranean woodland areas for populations who are economically and socially dependent on these areas, but also for society as a whole. However, this can only be achieved through active involvement of these populations by managing these areas through participatory processes.
In the context of rapid global change, it is crucial to work on these two closely linked themes in order to provide the tools needed to make necessary changes in public policies, which now, more than ever, are facing many challenges.
