Resumen
Descripción
The Government of Mozambique has demonstrated a strong commitment to sustainable forest management, reduction of deforestation and biodiversity conservation. Since 2017, the Mozambique Forest Investment Plan (MozFIP) has represented this commitment, addressing deforestation drivers and promoting sustainable rural development. With support from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), a new forest policy was developed, and a draft forest law and its implementation plan were prepared. In 2020, the MAAP (formerly known as Ministry of Land, Environment and Rural Development) reactivated the Commission for the Revision of the Forest Law and its Regulation (CRLFR), tasked with coordinating and leading the consultation process for revising the Forest Law and its Regulation. The CRLFR conducted participatory studies to assess the adequacy of the legal and policy frameworks in the context of Mozambique’s socioeconomic conditions. This project, developed in response to a formal request by the Government of Mozambique to support the revision of the Forest Law and its Regulation, aimed to ensure a comprehensive, country-specific methodology incorporating intersectoral participation in the elaboration, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the Forest Law and its Regulation. FAO supported this process by strengthening national capacities and ensuring that forest law formulation adheres to key principles while drawing on lessons from the MozFIP and other international experiences. Since the implementation of the new regulatory framework requires institutional capacity and financial resources, mobilizing donor support was also a critical aspect for enabling effective implementation.
