Understanding forest tenure in Africa: opportunities and challenges for forest tenure diversification
Does forest tenure matter? In what way does it matter? What are the links among tenure, sustainable forest management and poverty alleviation?
This paper presents the main findings of research that was conducted by FAO with the aim of analysing and understanding the role of tenure arrangements, their enabling impacts and their limitations. The paper presents a summary of different tenure instruments’ performance in supporting SFM and PA, and provides recommendations for more effective forest tenure systems.
