Zusammenfassung: | Swedish donor support to forestry in Africa has reduced during the last 1015 years in spite of an over-all increase in Swedish support to the region. Many forestry projects have encountered problems, but this experience has provided knowledge which can be used to improve projects. As
a result narrow forestry projects have largely ceased and forestry is now considered part of broader natural resource management programmes.Changes in the aid administration such as decentralisation, budget support and harmonization are reducing the possibilities for support to forestry
and it is therefore unlikely that Sida will support large bilateral programmes in Africa in the future. Instead most support to forestry will target regional and global programmes managed by international organizations. However, any aid specifically targeted for forestry will require that
countries show commitment to sustainable forest management. |
