RECOFTC – The Center for People and Forests Training course
STRENGTHENING FOREST TENURE SYSTEMS AND GOVERNANCE
Forest management has changed significantly across Asia and the Pacific over the last few decades, marked with a continuous shift from state forest control toward local forest management. As a result of this ongoing forest tenure reform process, forest ownership is more diverse and access to resources has increased with more stakeholders involved. However, successful forest tenure reform requires adjustments in regulatory frameworks and governance to ensure stakeholders are able to participate, know their rights and understand and fulfill their responsibilities. To achieve these results, practical guidance is crucial at national, sub-national and community levels for stakeholders and other actors involved in forest tenure reforms. With this in mind, under the framework of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT), which were endorsed by the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) in 2012, and based on the forest tenure reform guidelines developed by FAO in 2011, RECOFTC – The Center for People and Forests, under the ASEAN-Swiss Partnership on Social Forestry and Climate Change (ASFCC) and the ASEAN Social Forestry Network (ASFN), provides the training course Strengthening forest tenure systems and governance.
