| description |
This report presents a framework for
strengthening the effectiveness and efficiency of regulation
of forestry and related sectors. It strives to identify and
reduce regulatory burdens on private firms active in the
forestry sector, while not compromising the objectives of
government regulation. Illegal logging and deforestation,
especially in developing countries, has significant impact
on national and global forestry product markets, leading to
increasingly heavy regulation of forestry sectors-including
downstream markets and processing industries. Heavy
regulation places a disproportionate burden on SMEs and
frequently leads to regulatory failures, including
corruption and reduced competition. As a result, many
small-scale forestry and downstream private firms cannot
comply with regulatory requirements, and instead operate
informally. Reduced regulatory compliance leads to a failure
to achieve intended and important social, economic, and
environmental outcomes. The report is the first to assess
the forestry sector from a cross-cutting global regulatory
governance perspective. It draws upon and synthesizes key
thematic issues and lessons from available materials on
forestry, and develops practical solutions based on
problem-driven adaption and good practices documented in
regulatory governance literature. Based on this, it also
creates a framework and toolkit using a selected and
appropriate regulatory governance reform tools for
application and further development. |
