| Summary: | Country forest notes (CFNs) are a
centerpiece of the World Bank Group’s Forest action plan
(FY16–20) and Climate change action plan (2016–2020). They
provide a thorough assessment of the current status of
forests, the forestry sector, and the investment needs to
sustainably manage this valuable renewable natural resource.
The World Bank aims to support client countries’ efforts to
implement priority actions linked to forests and their
development priorities, by focusing more deliberately on the
positive contributions that forests make to the poverty
reduction, food security, economic development, building
resilience towards climate change and climate change
mitigation. Benin’s forests are mainly represented as
savannah-mosaic ecosystem. Forests host a rich biodiversity
in Benin. Forest governance presents a multilayered
institutional arrangement for managing forests in Benin. The
Benin CFN was developed through a participatory process
involving national government actors for forestry
development. Interviews and validation of this report took
place in Benin with the participation of key actors and
institutions for forest development. |
