Day 2, Session 3: The role and perspectives of forest communities in the forest reform process
Presentation by Charles Meshack, Tanzania Forest Conservation Group
The document summarizes case studies on the impact of FLEGT and REDD+ processes on community rights in several African countries, including Cameroon, Ghana, Republic of Congo, Gabon, and Democratic Republic of Congo. In Cameroon, while efforts have been made to enforce forest laws and involve communities, problems remain such as weak compliance by companies with social responsibilities and benefit sharing. The country signed a FLEGT VPA in 2010 but licenses have yet to be issued. The R-PP was approved in 2012 but its impact on community rights is still unclear. Overall, the report aims to assess progress on legal reforms and stakeholder participation under FLEGT and REDD+, identify good practices, and provide recommendations

1) Industrial logging concessions dominate forests in Central Africa, comprising 60% of the area compared to only 18% designated for or owned by local communities.
2) Strengthening community tenure rights over forests is important for effective forest management, reducing land conflicts, and increasing rural development opportunities, including for REDD.
3) Several countries in Africa and around the world have implemented reforms to increase community forest tenure rights, providing examples for Central African countries to learn from and scale up their own reform efforts.

The document discusses whether rural communities in Africa are able to take on management responsibilities for forests as governments decentralize control. It argues that while secure land tenure rights are important, rural people also need greater equity, ability to organize rules and sanctions, ability to negotiate as equals, process and add value to forest products, and competitively enter markets. The presentation will summarize findings on forest ownership in Africa and conditions needed for communities to manage forests sustainably.
The document discusses the International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO) and its interest in forest landscape restoration. ITTO aims to promote sustainable management of tropical forests and trade in tropical timber. It has 60 member countries and has funded over 750 projects totaling over $375 million. Relevant to forest landscape restoration, ITTO has guidelines on restoring degraded forests and conserving biodiversity in production forests. ITTO supports projects involving restoration, reduced impact logging, and community forestry.

The document discusses the importance of securing land tenure rights for rural communities in Africa who have historically relied on forests for their livelihoods. It argues for recognizing customary land rights and empowering local communities to sustainably manage the forests they depend on. Finally, it calls for limiting unchecked resource extraction by governments and elites to ensure equitable access to forests for future generations.

Francesca Romano: Global trends in forest tenure: Emerging findings from four forested regions
1. Global trends in forest tenure:
common issues and
way forward
Francesca Romano
Forest Policy Service, FAO
Yaoundé, 25-29 May 2009

2. Agenda
• Overview of the main results of FAO forest
tenure assessment in 4 regions
• Figures
• Main common issues
• Global Forest Resources Assessment: a
tool for forest tenure analysis
• Future efforts
• FAO plans
• Your inputs

6. Forest tenure reform
can have positive
impact on SFM and
poverty alleviation
(Viet Nam, Tanzania,
Mongolia)
but...
the forest sector is still very “static” and there
are no guidelines on how to secure and
diversify forest tenure
7. Is tenure an issue?
• Limited diversification and resistance to
change
• Limited data availability
• Contradicting/ not harmonized policies and
legislations
• Limited incentives to invest
• marginal resources and benefit sharing systems
• insecurity/ fragility of tenure rights
• high costs, limited returns
8. • little recognition of
traditional/customary tenure systems
• bad tenure governance
ineffective legislation
complex land policies and procedures
lack of capacities to implement reforms
weak institutions
information flow not adequate
9. • Tenure is not yet a priority in Countries’ agenda.
Necessary a formal endorsement, that recognizes also
forests
• Need for forest tenure reforms based on globally agreed
principles, mechanisms and fundamental requirements
The process is important
10. How to develop effective tenure
systems?
• Which specific
aspects should be
addressed?
• Which format?
• Which
complementary
tools/mechanisms?
11. Global Forest Resource assessment
• Principles:
– is based on country reports, data provided by
Gov./Ministries
– common terminology and definitions
• Strengths:
– Country commitment
– Forest tenure table is new and improved
– Periodical update (5 years)
• Weakness:
– Only official figures are provided
– Informal tenure systems are not included, nor
contested lands (with some exceptions, e.g.
Peru’)
