Technical studyForty years of community-based forestry 2016
Also available in:
Since the 1970s and 1980s, community-based forestry has grown in popularity, based on the concept that local communities, when granted sufficient property rights over local forest commons, can organize autonomously and develop local institutions to regulate the use of natural resources and manage them sustainably. Over time, various forms of community-based forestry have evolved in different countries, but all have at their heart the notion of some level of participation by smallholders and comm unity groups in planning and implementation. This publication is FAO’s first comprehensive look at the impact of community-based forestry since previous reviews in 1991 and 2001. It considers both collaborative regimes (forestry practised on land with formal communal tenure requiring collective action) and smallholder forestry (on land that is generally privately owned). The publication examines the extent of community-based forestry globally and regionally and assesses its effectiveness in del ivering on key biophysical and socioeconomic outcomes, i.e. moving towards sustainable forest management and improving local livelihoods. The report is targeted at policy-makers, practitioners, researchers, communities and civil society. -

Innovation case study
2025Also available in:
The SWM Programme is working to improve rural governance systems, so that communities are in a better position to sustainably manage their natural resources and improve their well-being. Making this happen isn’t simple. It requires accountable and transparent systems that empower communities to govern their territories effectively. It’s about building real partnerships based on trust and mutual respect.It means listening to the needs and ideas of the people who call these places home and working together to find solutions that benefit everyone. It’s about recognizing that communities are the true stewards of their lands and resources and supporting them in their efforts to protect and sustainably manage these vital natural assets.Community engagement is a two-way process of exchange and dialogue between project staff and all segments of the communities, which involves a wide spectrum of established approaches and good practices. -

Ocena rodnih pitanja u kosovskom šumarstvu
2017Glavni cilj ovog istraživanja je da identifikuje i analizira ulogu žena i muškaraca u sektoru šumarstva na Kosovu, korišćenje i vlasništvo šuma od strane žena i muškaraca. Izveštaj takođe ima za cilj da analizira rodna pitanja u okviru institucionalne politike i pravnog okvira koji uređuje upravljanje šumama, kako bi se dale preporuke o tome kako rodna pitanja efikasnije integrisati u politiku o šumarstvu na Kosovu. Istraživanje čini deo projekta pod nazivom "Podrška sprovođenju politika i stra tegije o šumama na Kosovu" (GCP/KOS/005/FIN), finansiran od Finske, koji ima za cilj da poveća doprinos sektora šumarstva nacionalnoj privredi kroz održivo korišćenje šumskih resursa, uzimajući u obzir višestruku namenu šumarstva i privredne, socijalne i ekološke koristi od šuma, kao i doprinos sektora ublažavanju klimatskih promena. Studija pokazuje ograničen pristup žena odlučivanju i informacijama, u poređenju sa muškarcima, ali i nerešena imovinska prava žena. Osim toga, visoka stopa neza poslenosti je glavna prepreka koju su identifikovali članovi seoskih zajednica, a naročito žene. U izveštaju se takođe ukazuje na interese seoskih žena da poboljšaju svoje veštine branja i sakupljanja, obrade i prodaje nedrvnih šumskih proizvoda (NDŠP). Prema tome, izveštaj pokazuje značaj unapređenja pristupa žena informacijama, jačanja kapaciteta i obuhvaćenost u donošenju odluka. Izveštaj se završava isticanjem da NDŠP imaju veliki potencijal za smanjenje siromaštva i nesigurnosti da se prehr ane u regionima sprovedene studije, naročito kada se efikasno podrže i žene i muškarci.
