LESSONS LEARNING
•Strengthening partnerships in addressing forest governances
through dialogue and opportunities for knowledge & information
sharing.
•Promoting CBRNM: Incentivising communities, benefit sharing
and voices towards sustainable forest management
• The current wave on Land based investment, should be tackled
and handled . Governance of land, natural resources and
investment activities must be strengthened
Challenges
•Timber moratorium in 2005 & 2010 brought under cover
governance challenges
•Biomass Energy becoming a serious driver.
• Use rights and gender: Community benefits and livelihoods –
opportunity costs.
•Institutional set up - CBFM, TFS, Policy frameworks on NRs
(Land, Forests, Minerals, Oils & Gas, etc).
Extending the Coastal Forest Protected Area Subsystem
• The Coastal Forest Biodiversity and Ecosystem Values are conserved and provide sustainable benefit flows at local, national and global levels.
• The spatial coverage and management effectiveness of the Coastal Forest PA sub system is expanded and strengthened.
• So far more than 1,000,000Ha are annexed in the PAs
