Objectives

The main objective of the Course is to improve the policy analysis skills of participants helping them to see the “big picture” and enhance their decision-making capabilities. By the end of the course the participants would have:

• Gained an understanding of the larger changes taking place at the global, regional and national levels and how these will impact forests and forestry in the coming decades.

• Understood the future scenarios for forest management in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly focusing on implications for policies, institutions and science and technology, giving due attention to the restoration/rehabilitation of degraded forests.

• Learned about how innovations in governance and technology are helping to enhance the role of forests and forestry in fulfilling the aspirations of changing society and what needs to be done to make forestry more proactive.

• Enhanced knowledge and skills in the use of various tools for policy analysis, helping to augment the capacity of participants to adopt best practices in integrated land use in the pursuit of sustainable forest management.
