Meeting Name: Committee on Forestry
Meeting symbol/code: COFO/2014/4

This issue of Unasylva looks at various aspects of the overall financing situation in forestry and highlights areas where additional progress could and should be made. The issue draws heavily on material prepared for the June 1996 Workshop on Financial Mechanisms and Sources of Finance for Sustainable Forestry, held in Pretoria, South Africa.

The report presents some of the general aspects of Chad before analysing the two most important chapters of the report. First, the main characteristics of the supply of fuelwood are presented with an estimate of the potential capacity of the country to supply. The main characteristics of the demand are underlined followed by the country’s political, institutional and legislative background. Some fiscal issues are outlined followed by a description of future scenarios for demand and supply.

In recent years, local people and rural communities have assumed increasing prominence in strategies for natural resource management.This paper briefly reviews some of the central legal issues that are associated with this shift. In doing so, its goals are limited. It does not ad dress fundamental questions about when, where and what kind of management works, nor attempt to identify the political, social, economic and environmental ingredient s for success – subjects on which there is a huge, if still inconclusive, literature.
