| description |
The overall context for the study is
partly provided by the three pillars of the World
Bank's new forest strategy (Sustaining Forests: A
Development Strategy, 2002), which focuses on how the Bank
can most effectively contribute to harnessing the potential
of forests to reduce poverty, to integrating forests in
sustainable economic development, and to protecting global
forest values. How institutions perform is central to the
ability to deliver on this agenda. Consistent with the
Strategy, the aim of this study is to provide an overview of
forest sector organizations and reform processes within
Europe's transition economies and to provide strategic
guidance on institutional performance criteria for meeting
the objective of multi-functional and environmentally
sustainable forest management. The authors draw on
experiences from other countries - largely from within the
OECD or which are otherwise 'forest rich' - to
provide examples of the range of institutional forms and
structures for forest management. Also considered are some
of the special challenges for countries which are moving
toward accession to the European Community (EC) as they seek
to develop their forest management institutions in a manner
which is perceived to be broadly consistent with other EC
models and standards. What emerges in this review is that
there is a need for forest organizations to define with
greater clarity the performance standard against which
organizational reforms are to be assessed. The authors
propose an agenda for reform which focuses on the
transforming of forest organizations into service delivery institutions. |
