- To identify areas in current policies and institutions which do not currently support the overall goal of sustainable forest management;
- to reform national forestry and other policies and legislation such that they are more supportive to the achievement of sustainable forest management; and
- to improve the capacity of national forestry administrations to more effectively plan and influence the development of the forestry sector within the context of sustainable development.
THE WOOD ENERGY PLANNING AND POLICY DEVELOPMENT COMPONENT

INFORMATION AND ANALYSIS FOR SUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENT: LINKING NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL EFFORTS IN 13 TROPICAL COUNTRIES IN LATIN AMERICA
INFORMATION AND ANALYSIS FOR SUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENT: LINKING NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL EFFORTS IN SOUTH ASIA AND SOUTHEAST ASIA
INFORMATION AND ANALYSIS FOR SUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENT
The project focuses on six inter-related priority themes, namely (i) implementation of national forestry programmes, (ii) fiscal policy reform, (iii) forest harvesting practices, (iv) non-wood forest products, (v) wood energy policy development, and (vi) strengthening forestry research capacity. The objective of the Wood Energy Policy and Planning Development (WEPP) component was to strengthen wood energy planning and policy areas of the national forestry administrations in African, Asian, Latin America and Caribbean countries and to promote the development of sustainable wood energy systems as a contribution to sustainable forest management considering that wood fuels are a major product derived from forest and trees outside forests.
