| Summary: | This Analytical Framework is a product
of a World Bank initiative on Securing Forest Tenure Rights
for Rural Development, which seeks to enhance the World
Bank’s capacity and effectiveness when dealing with land
rights issues in forest areas. The initiative is core to
‘Participation and Rights,’ one of the three cross-cutting
themes of the Bank’s Forest Action Plan 2016–2020 (World
Bank Group 2016). The overall objective of the initiative is
to provide information and guidance, to client countries,
indigenous peoples and local communities, World Bank
managers and staff, and other donors, to strengthen forest
tenure security in forest landscapes as a foundation for
rural development. This framework consolidates a wide range
of experience and evidence on both the relevance of
community forest tenure security to rural development goals
and the key elements that need to be in place for community
forest tenure to be effectively secured. The Key elements
encompass those that are important for achieving development
goals and those that support the overall functioning of the
tenure security system. The primary purpose of having
distilled these elements is to provide a basis for the
development of practical tools to understand and assess
community forest tenure security in specific national
contexts. By consolidating and presenting these elements
together in a concise framework, this work can help
establish a shared set of concepts and common language on
community-based tenure security. |
