ETFRN News 53: Moving Forward with Forest Governance

06.06.2012

The 29 articles in this issue of ETFRN (European Tropical Forest Research Network) News, produced by Tropenbos International, showcase a rich diversity of examples of how forest governance has been addressed in various settings. The current issue brings together experiences from a wide range of forest governance reform initiatives. Some relate to new lessons from well-established approaches to forest governance reform, such as community forestry; others relate to more recently developed initiatives, such as FLEGT. The articles reveal that transparency, communication and access to information, and multi-stakeholder engagement in deliberative processes, particularly the meaningful participation of disadvantaged groups, are essential ingredients in moving forward with forest governance.
