Descripción
The main objective of the project was the promotion of multifunctional sustainable forest management (SFM) to conserve biodiversity, enhance and conserve carbon stocks, and secure forest ecosystem services in productive forest landscapes. It was designed around three project components: i) an enabling environment for multifunctional SFM; ii) multifunctional forest management; and iii) monitoring and evaluation (M&E) and the dissemination of lessons learned.The project was highly relevant to international and local policy agenda priorities, as it involved the forestry sector and maximized its role in environmental protection and sustainable development. However, project ownership was concentrated among stakeholders from the state forestry sector. Other important private and non-forestry actors were only involved at minor levels. Important outputs on data collection were: the Integrated Forest Inventory System (IFIS) and the National Forest Inventory (NFI), both important contributions to SFM in Serbia. However, the evaluation found that the legal institutionalization of results in the form of new legislation was not realized during the project’s life cycle.
