  • The Role of Public Forest Agencies in Strengthening SMFE and Producer
    XIV WORLD FORESTRY CONGRESS, Durban, South Africa, 7-11 September 2015 The role of public forest agencies in strengthening forest and farm producer organizations in developing countries: Results of a self-assessment with the Kenya Forest Service Marco Boscolo (FAO), Oscar Simanto (KFS)2, Philip Kisoyan (FFF Kenya)3, Jhony Zapata (FAO/FFF)4 Duncan McQueen (IIED)5 Abstract A number of FAO activities target Small and Medium Forest Enterprises (SMFE) and forest and farm producer organizations (POs). Some of these activities focus directly on POs, for example through capacity development interventions. Other activities focus on creating or strengthening cross-sectoral and multi-stakeholder platforms for dialogue. A third set of activities focus on improving the “enabling environment” for POs, for example by improving clarity of resources tenure. An often neglected area of support is in strengthening public forest institutions (PFI) as key element of the “enabling environment” for POs (see FAO’s policy brief on strengthening public forestry institutions, and FAO/FFF working paper “Making Change Happen”). In fact, their mandate often includes improvements of livelihood for the rural poor or support to small forestry producers and community forestry. The modalities by which this support is provided are rather mixed and range from providing extension services, facilitating PES schemes, administering incentives programs, maintaining nurseries, etc. However, the impact of their support to POs is rather mixed. In some cases, they are perceived as hindering POs development while in other cases they are a critical element of success. Anecdotally, the countries that have made more progress in supporting SMFE and POs have embraced a stronger “result orientation”.

  • Forest Resource Management and Logging Activities in Kenya
    PMWL Research Result Forest Resource Management and Logging Activities in Kenya Access to new resource related to solving global environmental problems added to PMWL Resource provided by Daisy Ogutu 26 March 2020 – Kisumu, Kenya – Access to a new resource has been added to the PM World Library (PMWL) related to solving global environmental problems. The new resource is titled: Taskforce report on forest resource management and logging activities in Kenya, by the Republic of Kenya’s ministry of environment and forestry and published in The Forest Report in April 2018. The forest sector in Kenya contributes about Kshs. 7 billion to the economy and provides a lot of employment opportunities. Most of the country’s economic sectors rely on environment-based resources for their sustenance. Being the country’s water towers, forests ensure adequate quality and quantity of water and are also sinks of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change mitigation. The global recommended minimum forest cover for a country is 10% while Kenya’s is estimated to be at 7.4%. Depletion of forest cover in the country is alarming and if not addressed urgently, it has the potential to rollback strides towards the attainment of Vision 2030 and the government’s Big Four Agenda. The Kenya Forest Service (KFS) is the lead agency in the management of forests in the country. Over the past 25 years, there has been massive destruction of forests due to excision, settlements established without following due process, encroachment, illegal logging and unsustainable grazing. It is estimated that 1.6 million tons of charcoal are produced in Kenya annually.

  • Paradox of Deadwood Circular Bioeconomy in Kenya's Public Forests
    sustainability Review Paradox of Deadwood Circular Bioeconomy in Kenya’s Public Forests Sylvester Ngome Chisika, Joon Park and Chunho Yeom * International School of Urban Sciences, University of Seoul, Seoul 02504, Korea; [email protected] (S.N.C.); [email protected] (J.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: With the rising demand for energy, the forest-based circular bioeconomy is gaining recog- nition as a strategy for sustainable production and consumption of forest resources. However, the forest-based bioeconomy remains underexplored from the perspective of deadwood conservation in public forests. While conducting a literature review and examining the case of Kenya, this study fills a gap in the literature to provide policy suggestions for sustainable forest resource utilization. The results from global literature indicate that deadwood performs essential social, economic, and environmental functions in the circular bioeconomy and sustainable development. Similarly, in Kenya, deadwood resources provide many socially beneficial bioproducts and services. However, the absence of scientific research and detailed guidelines for deadwood conservation may lead to the distortion of the ecological balance in public forests because of the legally sanctioned removal of deadwood, particularly firewood. Moreover, if the status quo remains, with approximately 70% of the growing population consuming deadwood for domestic use and the demand increasing, as shown by the current wood deficit in the country, there will be a major dilemma concerning whether to conserve deadwood for biodiversity or energy. Therefore, averting crisis and providing maximum deadwood value to society requires guidelines and comprehensive research in addition to a cultural Citation: Chisika, S.N.; Park, J.; and behavioral shift in energy consumption in a manner that embraces the forest-based circular Yeom, C.

  • Women, Agency, and the State in Guinea
    Women, Agency, and the State in Guinea This book examines how women in Guinea articulate themselves politically within and outside institutional politics. It documents the everyday practices that local female actors adopt to deal with the continuous economic, political, and social insecurities that emerge in times of political transformations. Carole Ammann argues that women’s political articulations in Muslim Guinea do not primarily take place within women’s associations or institu- tional politics such as political parties; but instead women’s silent forms of politics manifest in their daily agency, that is, when they make a living, study, marry, meet friends, raise their children, and do household chores. The book also analyses the relationship between the female population and the local authorities, and discusses when and why women’s claim making enjoys legiti- macy in the eyes of other men and women, as well as representatives of ‘tra- ditional’ authorities and the local government. Paying particular attention to intersectional perspectives, this book will be of interest to scholars of African studies, social anthropology, political anthropology, the anthropology of gender, urban anthropology, gender stu- dies, and Islamic studies.

  • Success Factors of National-Scale Forest Restorations in South Korea, Vietnam, and China
    sustainability Article Success Factors of National-Scale Forest Restorations in South Korea, Vietnam, and China Gayoung Choi 1, Yoonjeong Jeong 1 and Seong-il Kim 1,2,* 1 Department of Forest Sciences, Seoul National University, Seoul 08826, Korea; [email protected] (G.C.); [email protected] (Y.J.) 2 Research Institute of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Seoul National University, Seoul 08826, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-2-880-4765 Received: 22 March 2019; Accepted: 21 June 2019; Published: 25 June 2019 Abstract: The total global forest area is decreasing significantly, yet stories of successful large-scale forest restoration are still scarce. In the 1980s, when properly designed concepts and methodologies were absent, state-led, large-scale restoration projects in lower-income countries (LICs) in Asia were already successful. These then LICs—South Korea, Vietnam, and China—experienced dramatic forest land use changes driven by different socioeconomic and political developments, from deforestation and forest degradation to reforestation and ecological restoration. This study examines the institutional settings of each country’s restoration programs, focusing on the inputs of the external factors, their effects on the relevant action arena, and their payment mechanisms. By conducting critical comparisons between three country cases, we found that the ability of nations that had implemented reforestation programs to restore their forests was often influenced by external variables, which included biophysical conditions, local community attributes, and local, state, and federal rules. The result of this research provides practical implications and contributes to the body of literature comparing restoration cases from Asian countries, which have rarely been investigated.
