248. Giving effect to the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and other
recent inter- national fishery instruments is the major challenge facing countries in
their efforts to secure long-term sustainable fisheries and aquaculture development.
Within the framework of FAO's strategic objectives of sustainable food security, the Major
Programme has identified five objectives for the medium-term. These are:
249. The overall change in the programme of work related to the Major Programme amounts to an increase of US$ 163 000, which combined with a proposed increase in income of US$ 146 000, results in an increase in the net budget for work in this area of US$ 17 000. Since redistribution of the computer pool account increases the overall budget by US$ 446 000, while redistribution of staff time within the Management Support Unit (FFDX) results in a transfer of staff resources of US$ 260 000 from Programme 2.3.9. Programme Management to 2.4.9. Programme Management, the Regular Programme resources for substantive work within the Major Programme are therefore proposed to decline by US$ 169 000. The only major shift of resources proposed in the Major Programme is US$ 228 000 from Programme 2.3.3. Fisheries Exploitation and Utilization to Programme 2.3.2. Fisheries Resources and Aquaculture. Two new posts of Fisheries Industries Officer (trade analysis) and Fisheries Analyst (fishing capacity) have been proposed for establishment at Headquarters to expand assistance in these areas.

289. The forestry sector is going through rapid evolution. International concern over forest degradation and loss continues. Complex political, technological and institutional changes are taking place, with greater public commitment to forest conservation and public involvement in forest management decisions. More organizations are becoming involved in forestry matters and issues are increasingly viewed as regional or global in nature.
290. The greatest challenge in the coming years is to balance conflicting demands on forests for goods (both wood and non-wood products) against provision of a wide array of services, including environmental, social and cultural. Appreciation of the role of forests in food security, mitigating climate changes and conservation of biological diversity has grown. A concerted effort to reconcile competing claims, underpinned by a comprehensive policy framework, is required to resolve this conflict.
291. FAO has an important role to play in providing substantially improved information, particularly on forest resources where FAO has the lead responsibility at international level.
292. While sustainable management is recognized as fundamental for forestry development, there is a lack of implementation in many countries. Thus, an important priority for FAO will be development and dissemination of best practices and institutional approaches related to the sustainable management of all types of forests.
293. The increased involvement of all stakeholders means that a key priority for FAO in the coming years will be institutional dialogue and strengthening of partnerships to develop pluralistic approaches to sustainable forest management.
294. As the sustainable management of forests becomes increasingly a global concern, FAO will be called upon to facilitate and give support to national, regional and international processes related to forests, including consideration of international arrangements and mechanisms, and to continue to serve as a neutral forum for forest policy discussions.
295. The overall change in the programme of work related to the Major Programme amounts to an increase of US$ 59 000, which combined with a proposed decrease in income of US$ 340 000, results in an increase in the net budget for work in this area of US$ 399 000. However, this is entirely offset by a computer pool account increase of US$ 147 000 and the redistribution of staff time within the Management Support Unit (FFDX) which results in a transfer of staff resources of US$ 260 000 from Programme 2.3.9 Programme Management to 2.4.9. Programme Management. Creation of the new Programme 2.4.4. Forest Programmes Coordination and Information has led to a shift of US$ 3.8 million from Programme 2.4.3. Forestry Policy and Planning. The transfer of a statistical clerk post from the Forestry Department (FO) to the Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (RAP) results in a counterbalanced increase of US$ 45 000 in the resources of the Regional Office. The work on Forest Programme Coordination and Information will be strengthened through the establishment of a P-4 Electronic Information Storage and Dissemination Systems Manager post.
