4. II. Training Process, Content and Methods:
1. Day 1, Morning session:
At the beginning of the Workshop, all participants had the opportunity to get
acquaintances with each other, agree on the objectives and agenda of the
workshop, as well as set up workshop rules.
In the morning session of Day 1, Ms. Pham Thi Bich Ngoc (SRD) shared
information on the VNGO-FLEGT Network and the findings of research
conducted by the Network since its establishment, providing the Network
members with an overview of all activities in the last three years.
Then Ms. Valerie Vauthier – Director of REM, from the United Kingdom –
introduced a comprehensive overview of Independent forest monitoring/
Independent monitoring of forest law enforcement and governance and Informal
monitoring.
After the session summary by the co-facilitator - Ms. Vu Thi Bich Hop, all of the
trainees applied the knowledge in group discussion. The topic of discussion was
“Which factors of formal monitoring can be applied in Vietnam, and the role of
CSOs in this process.” The group discussion highlighted key issues related to
Formal monitoring that can be applied in Vietnam, such as:
• Issues on Illegal logging
• Issues on Forest governance
• Issues on Timber trading (monitor and detect the gaps in forest law
enforcement, and support local forest governance)
• Raise awareness of Independent forest monitoring for relevant
stakeholders
• Build up and manage the database, pilot independent forest monitoring
models.
Results of group discussion are presented in Appendix 4.
2. Afternoon session, Day 1
The afternoon session of Day 1 was on Informal independent monitoring and
experiences of the VPA implementing countries. This content was presented by
the principal facilitator, Ms. Valerie Vauthier and further explained by the co-
facilitator, Ms. Vu Thi Bich Hop.
There were two more presentations about the Vietnam experiences. The first one
is “Overview of Livelihood Impact Assessment (LIA) method” by Mr. Hoang
4
5. Quoc Chinh. The LIA is considered as a qualitative research method, and
combined with other quantitative methods to analyze and present findings that
contribute to the Legality Definition, Timber Legality Assurance System, as well
as future Independent Forest Monitoring. The second presentation was
“Community-based Forest Monitoring model in Thai Nguyen” by Mr. Dao Duc
Liem, which was part of a SRD project in Thai Nguyen. This model is a good
practical example of the important role of community in independent forest
monitoring.
After the presentation, under the facilitation of Ms. Vu Thi Bich Hop, the trainees
were divided into groups to discuss “which factors of Informal monitoring can be
applied in Vietnam, and the role of CSOs in this process”. The group discussion
underlined the issues related to informal monitoring that can be applied in
Vietnam, such as:
• Issues on Land use rights, Rights to access to Land and forest resources,
Customary law, Rights to access to information and legal documents
• Issues on Labour and environmental impacts
• Capacity building on forest law enforcement for people that depend on
forest. Capacity building for the Network members to engage and
contribute their opinions on Independent forest monitoring
• Develop criteria for Informal forest monitoring for vulnerable groups
• Establish community groups to manage and protect forest
Results of the group discussion are presented in Appendix 4.
On the first training day, the trainees have learnt basic knowledge of IFM (both
formal and informal). Through the group discussions, the trainees have had the
opportunity to share and discuss the role of independent monitoring in VPA, as
well as the activities that CSOs in general and the VNGO-FLEGT Network in
particular can apply and carry out, when VPA is implemented in Vietnam.
3. Day 2, Morning session:
The morning session of Day 2 was on sharing the community-based monitoring
models of some projects that have been implemented in Vietnam. Three forestry
experts, Mr. Nguyen Van Hop, Mr. Vu Van Can, and Ms. Pham Hong Nhung,
gave presentations about the practical monitoring models implemented in
Vietnam.
The trainees exchanged and shared their understandings with the speakers, and
discussed the advantages and disadvantages of these models as well. Thereby they
5
6. started to have a clearer view of CSOs’ role in independent monitoring in VPA,
and the activities in which these CSOs can engage when VPA is implemented.
4. Day 2, Afternoon session:
The afternoon session of Day 2 was on planning Independent monitoring pilots by
the members of VNGO-FLEGT Network. This content was delivered by the co-
facilitatior Ms. Vu Thi Bich Hop. The whole Network agreed on dividing
members into six groups related to six provinces: Bac Kan, Thai Nguyen, Thanh
Hoa, Ha Tinh, Nghe An, Thua Thien Hue and Quang Binh. The Network members
and local forestry officers discussed and drafted project proposals on Informal
monitoring in these provinces for a period of three years.
The group discussion focused on these issues:
• Assess potential impacts of VPA on vulnerable groups (based on both
qualitative and quantitative methods), contribute the findings to the
appendices of VPA.
• Investigate the Issues on Land use rights, Rights to access to Land and
forest resources, Customary law, Rights to access to information and
legal documents, and Issues on Labour and environmental impacts.
• Improve capacity and enhance communication on FLEGT/VPA and
Independent monitoring for relevant stakeholders.
• Pilot Informal monitoring models in the community.
Six project proposals on capacity building and field studies to contribute to TLAS
and LD, and on Informal monitoring models in six provinces were drafted and will
be finalized by the Network members after the training workshop. The Network
will also conduct baseline studies to determine potential areas for capacity
building and informal monitoring.
Details of discussion outcomes of each group are presented in Appendix 4.
III. The Workshop Outcomes:
In two days of training, the trainees were provided with fundamental contents on
IFM, especially on Formal and Informal monitoring. The trainees were aware of
important role of CSOs in independent monitoring once the VPA is implemented.
The greatest outcome of the workshop, (though it is simple and needs further
discussion and refinement), is that the trainees have discussed and identified the
main inputs that CSOs can contribute to VPA negotiation process as well as
Informal monitoring in Vietnam context:
6
7. • Continue to carry out field studies (by both qualitative and quantitative
methods), in order to produce more valuable scientific reports to
contribute to appendices of VPA (LD, TLAS)
• Focus on capacity building so that the Network members can
comprehend IFM and share their opinions on Independent Monitoring,
and prepare to engage in this activity when VPA is signed
The trainees highly appreciated the contents, methodologies as well as the logistic
organization of the training workshop. The contents of the workshop and results of
group discussion will be important inputs for building strategy for the VNGO-
FLEGT network.
IV. Conclusion:
The lectures and speeches met the objectives of the training program.
Training topic, scale and format are appropriate for the participants.
The facilitators have done their work well, ensuring the quality and format of the
training workshop.
The trainees actively participated in the workshop, and obtained training contents
through lectures, group discussions and exchanges.
