Type of publication: Book Publisher: FAO Year of publication: 2019 Place of publication: Rome, Italy Pages: 72 p. Serial Title: Forestry Working Paper Series number: 13 ISBN: 978-92-5-131553-8 doi: https://doi.org/10.4060/ca5039en Agrovoc: Forestry sector; Land governance; Land tenure; Customary tenure; Community forestry; REDD-plus; Forest management; Sustainable livelihoods. Abstract: This tool is intended to help countries evaluate their forest tenure systems, particularly those that facilitate participation of non-state actors in forestry, including co-management regimes, community forestry, smallholder forestry, large holder forestry, or company concessions granted on State lands. It uses the internationally endorsed Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests (VGGT) as its basis. Forest tenure review may be conducted in the context of policy or legal reform, to inform Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) policy formulation, to improve understanding of a specific tenure system that is under-performing, or to strengthen performance of the various participatory forestry arrangements in country. The assessment tool can provide a very comprehensive understanding of tenure and governance related drivers of deforestation and forest degradation, and ways to address them.
