Resumen
Descripción
Territorial approaches to forest governance reflect a shift away from plot level toward larger spatial scales in forest management, and away from exclusively public sector governance to multi-stakeholder governance that includes local communities, regional groups, national governments, private companies, civil society organizations and international bodies. Institutions associated with these different groups, and found at different spatial and administrative scales, have a direct impact on the effectiveness of forest management and governance. Most of the stakeholders have however difficulties in establishing effective forest governance mechanisms designed to territorial approches. It is crucial to enhance understanding of territorial approaches to forest governance to improve forest management and governance. More specifically, this publication aims to identify current practices, positive and negative lessons, and institutional options for effective forest governance at larger scales such as landscapes. It provides seven guiding principles and associated recommendations building on success factors identified in the case studies, overcoming challenges and reflecting on lessons learned. These guiding principles focus on strengthening institutions to better tackle the multiple scales of governance inherent to territorial approaches.
