Introduction Forests provide important livelihood sources for local communities and play a key role in poverty alleviation. In many parts of the world, however, unclear forest property rights and weak local governance are key drivers of deforestation and forest degradation. Over past decades, a number of developing countries have undertaken forestland tenure reform with a view to reducing land use conflicts and providing incentives to local communities to improve forest resource management. In this context, the experiences that China has gained with recent forest tenure reforms can guide forest conservation and poverty alleviation, as well as offer important lessons for other developing countries that are addressing the problem of unclear forest tenure. Within the framework of the Asia-Pacific Network for Sustainable Forest Management and Rehabilitation (APFNet), the APFNet’s Training Workshop on Forestland Tenure System aims to increase understanding of sustainable forest management issues in the region and offer recommendations to address them based on regional perspectives and experiences. Objectives The purpose of the workshop is to identify the key challenges that Asia-Pacific countries face with regard to forestland tenure reform and to propose possible solutions. At the end of the training, participants will better understand the key factors which affect implementation of the reform, many of which will vary according to specific socio-economic and cultural conditions. They will also gain an appreciation of gaps and capacity building needs to carry out forestland tenure reform in their own countries. Themes - Unclear land tenure as a driver of deforestation - Regulatory and legal framework for forestland tenure reform - Participation and consultation in the allocation of rights (conflict management) - Historical changes in forestland tenure and drivers of forestland tenure reform - Current government policies and implementation of forestland tenure reform - Patterns of forestland tenure and ownership, including both customary and official - Impacts and consequences of the forestland tenure system and its reform - Future trends Target Group The training workshop is best-suited to policy makers and practitioners as well as civil society representatives who are heavily involved in forestland tenure and its reform in the Asia-Pacific region. To enhance learning opportunities, participation will be limited to a maximum of 20 individuals. 1 Programme Overview for APFNet’s Training Workshop on Forestland Tenure System, July 5-16 2010, Kunming China Approaches The training workshop will draw primarily on professional expertise within the Asia-Pacific region and use a mix of guest lecturers to cover fundamental and topical issues related to forestland tenure reform; select case studies within and beyond the Asia-Pacific region; country presentations from participants; and field visits to areas involved in collective forestland tenure reform in South China.
