Capacity development for sustainable forest management
This paper presents examples of typical capacity development activities in the forest sector, illustrating the variety of initiatives and approaches to capacity development from around the world. The examples are grouped according to five broad areas of application: (a) capacities to manage forests on a sustainable basis; (b) capacities to formulate, implement, and evaluate policies; (c) capacities in forest research and development; (d) capacities in forest education; and (e) capacities for networking, communication, and information exchange. An evaluation of these capacity development initiatives shows that a fundamental paradigm change has taken place over the past 10 to 20 years, particularly with regard to the definition of capacity development, subjects considered important for sustainable forest management, and the concept of partnership in implementing capacity development activities. Based on this analysis, recommendations are made with regard to strategies, partnership, and necessary resources.
