Skogs- och Lantbruksakademiens TIDSKRIFT nr 2 2011 Foreword In the first phase of the project “Lessons learnt on Sustainable Forest Management in Africa” (SFM I, 2002–2005) – funded by Sida and carried out jointly by the African Forest Research Network (AFORNET), the FAO Forest Department and the Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Forestry (KSLA) – it was decided to analyse whether there are relevant lessons to be learnt for sub-Saharan Africa from the development of successful management, use and conservation of forests in Sweden. Several studies were commissioned (e.g. Hamilton, 2004, Sjunnesson, 2004, and Barklund, 2004), consultations made with individuals and institutions, and discussions held in the course of the project. All this resulted, among else, in a summary document “Development of SFM in Sweden – any lessons for Africa?”, which eventually was published in the African Academy of Sciences’ magazine Discovery & Innovation (Lundgren, 2009). In the second phase of the project (SFM II, 2006–2008), the conclusions and recommendations of this study, together with those of several others, were presented at two sub-regional meetings (in Addis Ababa in August 2006, and in Lusaka in May 2007) organised to disseminate the results from SFM I and agree on sub-regional priorities. At both meetings, participants recommended that activities be initiated along the proposals in the study. This was subsequently endorsed by KSLA and the African Forest Forum (AFF) – in itself a result of the SFM project – and a first phase of a programme was incorporated as one of seven specific projects in the initial operations of AFF (from Nov 2008 to Dec 2011). The basic point of departure for the programme was that relevant lessons from Sweden are less related to detailed technical issues and more to processes and mechanisms by which forests in less than 100 years became a primary national asset. This includes the way problems were tackled and solved, opportunities embraced, industries built up, supporting policies and laws were formulated and implemented, forest owners were organised, and how extension, education and research sup- port systems were built up. However, what also became apparent was how poorly documented the rather extensive expe- rience that, after all, exists in applying many of these lessons on the ground in Africa is. Hundreds of Swedish foresters and other experts have been involved in forestry and tree related programmes and activities in a dozen or more African countries since the late 1960s. Although there have been quite a number of evaluations done of these programmes, particularly those financed through the Swedish development cooperation budget, many have never been properly analysed and recorded. And, with a few exceptions, those evaluations that have been made are today lost in obscure cor- ners of Sida’s and various consultants’ archives and very difficult to access. What remain are the recollections of all those individuals that were and, in very few cases, still are engaged in forestry collaboration with Africa. Swedish-African forest relations 5 When the Committee on International Forest Issues of KSLA, parallel to, but independent from, the SFM and AFF involvements, carried out a major analysis in 2007–2008 of the Swedish resource base for international forestry work (see Ingemarson et al., 2008), many interesting points were revealed. Among others, it was confirmed what many already knew, viz. that Sweden was quickly losing much of the experience and knowledge on working with developing countries in the forestry sector that had been built up from the late 1960s to, say, the mid-1990s. After this, there has been a drastic decrease in Swedish cooperation in the field of forestry. It was felt that it would be useful to try to record as much as possible of what Swedish individ- uals and institutions have been doing in the wide field of forestry in collaboration with colleagues and counterpart institutions in Africa before this knowledge is lost. After all, the development of sustainable forest management, and industries based on this, has contributed very significantly to the economic and social well-being of Sweden, and it can only be hoped that there will be a reawakened interest in assisting Africa

  • Forest Conservation for Communities and Carbon: the Economics of Community Forest Management in The
    Forest conservation for communities and carbon: the economics of community forest management in the Bale Mountains Eco-Region, Ethiopia Charlene Watson May 2013 Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy London School of Economics and Political Science 1 Declaration of work This thesis is the result of my own work except where specifically indicated in the text and acknowledgements. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. Photos are the authors own, as are the figures generated. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. May 2013 2 Abstract Forest conservation based on payments anchored to opportunity costs (OCs) is receiving increasing attention, including for international financial transfers for reduced emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD+). REDD+ emerged as a payment for environmental service (PES) approach in which conditional payments are made for demonstrable greenhouse gas emission reductions against a business-as-usual baseline. Quantitative assessments of the OCs incurred by forest users of these reductions are lacking. Existing studies are coarse, obscure the heterogeneity of OCs and do not consider how OCs may change over time. An integrated assessment of OCs and carbon benefits under a proposed community forest management (CFM) intervention linked to REDD+ is undertaken in Ethiopia. The OCs of land for the intervention are estimated through household survey and market valuation. Scenarios explore how OCs are likely to change over the intervention given qualitative conservation goals and available land-use change information.

  • 7. Willingness to Pay for Systematic Management of Community Forests for Conservation of Non-Timber Forest
    CHAPTER 7 WILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR SYSTEMATIC MANAGEMENT OF COMMUNITY FORESTS FOR CONSERVATION OF NON-TIMBER FOREST PRODUCTS IN NIGERIA’S RAINFOREST REGION Implications for poverty alleviation NNAEMEKA A. CHUKWUONE# AND CHUKWUEMEKA E. OKORJI## # Centre for Entrepreneurship and Development Research and Department of Agricultural Economics, University of Nigeria Nsukka ## Department of Agricultural Economics, University of Nigeria Nsukka E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Despite the importance of non-timber forest products (NTFP) in sustaining livelihood and poverty smoothening in rural communities, they are highly depleted and poorly conserved. Besides, conservation initiatives in Nigeria to date are rarely participatory. Even community forests, the main source of NTFP, are poorly conserved. Therefore, to enhance participatory conservation initiatives, this study determines the willingness of households in forest communities in the rainforest region of Nigeria to pay for systematic management of community forests using the contingent-valuation method. A multistage random-sampling technique was used in selecting 180 respondent households used for the study. The value-elicitation format used was discrete choice with open-ended follow-up questions. A Tobit model with sample selection was used in estimating the bid function. The findings show that some variables such as wealth category, occupation, number of years of schooling and number of females in a household positively and significantly influence willingness to pay. Gender (male-headed households), start price of the valuation, number of males in a household and distance from home to forests negatively and significantly influence willingness to pay. Incorporating these findings in initiatives to organize the local community in systematic management of community forests for NTFP conservation will enhance participation and hence poverty alleviation.

  • The Racist Legacy in Modern Swedish Saami Policy1
    THE RACIST LEGACY IN MODERN SWEDISH SAAMI POLICY1 Roger Kvist Department of Saami Studies Umeå University S-901 87 Umeå Sweden Abstract/Resume The Swedish national state (1548-1846) did not treat the Saami any differently than the population at large. The Swedish nation state (1846- 1971) in practice created a system of institutionalized racism towards the nomadic Saami. Saami organizations managed to force the Swedish welfare state to adopt a policy of ethnic tolerance beginning in 1971. The earlier racist policy, however, left a strong anti-Saami rights legacy among the non-Saami population of the North. The increasing willingness of both the left and the right of Swedish political life to take advantage of this racist legacy, makes it unlikely that Saami self-determination will be realized within the foreseeable future. L'état suédois national (1548-1846) n'a pas traité les Saami d'une manière différente de la population générale. L'Etat de la nation suédoise (1846- 1971) a créé en pratique un système de racisme institutionnalisé vers les Saami nomades. Les organisations saamies ont réussi à obliger l'Etat- providence suédois à adopter une politique de tolérance ethnique à partir de 1971. Pourtant, la politique précédente de racisme a fait un legs fort des droits anti-saamis parmi la population non-saamie du nord. En con- séquence de l'empressement croissant de la gauche et de la droite de la vie politique suédoise de profiter de ce legs raciste, il est peu probable que l'autodétermination soit atteinte dans un avenir prévisible. 204 Roger Kvist Introduction In 1981 the Supreme Court of Sweden stated that the Saami right to reindeer herding, and adjacent rights to hunting and fishing, was a form of private property.

  • Hand in Hand Or Each on One's Own? on the Connection Between
    Hand in hand or each on one’s own? On the connection between morphological and syntactic change Eric Fuß, IDS Mannheim DiGS 18, Ghent University, 29 June 2016 1. Introduction • Old idea in (historical) linguistics: Correlation between syntactic and morphological change, cf. the following statements taken from Sapir (1921) and Vennemann (1975) on the connection between the loss of (rich) case morphology and the rise of (basic) SVO order:1 “[...] as the inflected forms of English became scantier, as the syntactic relations were more and more inadequately expressed by the forms of the words themselves, position in the sentence gradually took over functions originally foreign to it.” (Sapir 1921: 178) “As a substantive S-O marking system is eroded by phonological change, word order syntax must react to compensate for the ambiguities and perceptual complexities arising in a consistent verb-final language.” (Vennemann 1975: 293) • In the generative literature, the link between morphology and syntax has been reinterpreted in terms of synchronic universals (i.e., ‘hard-wired’ properties of UG), in the sense that the presence of a certain morphological property M triggers a syntactic property S.2 • One of the most widely discussed of these is the ‘Rich Agreement Hypothesis’ (RAH), originally going back to work by Kosmeijer 1986 and Platzack & Holmberg 1989), according to which verb movement to INFL/T (i.e., to a position to the left of negation and VP-related adverbs) is linked to rich subject agreement morphology on the finite verb. • The RAH comes in two basic variants:3 (1) a. The ‘strong’ RAH: Rich subject agreement morphology ⟷ V-to-I b.

  • I Stället För Papper
    I stället för papper Number 9, September 2018 I stället för papper Number 9, September 2018 Special NoFF report issue I stället för papper started out as an experiment in electronic fanzine publishing, and this is the ninth ish. All previous ishes were published in Swedish, but since this one will be dominated by the my con report from Finncon, where I was the NoFF delegate, I thought it politic to write in a language that all the Finnish fen (fenn?) could readily understand. Next ish, if it comes, will probably go back to Swedish. While the first ishes had good response, it has slowly been falling off, to the point that the previous issue didn’t receive any comments or letters at all. Now, the fanzine culture within sf fandom has always been first and foremost about communication with other fen. I believe that’s part of why the fanzines in other subcultures—like comics—are having an easier time to survive today, because they are more focused on self-expression. Now, both communication and self-expression have always been part of every fanzine, and even within sf fandom there have been fanzines more focused on self-expression. But as a culture, we put more emphasis on the role of communication for the fanzines, while comics, art, or maybe also music focused more on self-expression. That of course made the role for fanzines more at risk with the rise of social media on the Internet, because fanzines for the most part suck as a form of social interaction.

  • Forest Decline in South Central Ethiopia Extent, History and Process
    Forest Decline in South Central Ethiopia Extent, history and process Gessesse Dessie Department of Physical Geography and Quaternary Geology Stockholm University SE-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden © Gessesse Dessie ISSN: 1653-7211 ISBN: 978-91-7155-454-3 Layout: Clas Hättestrand Printed in Sweden: US-AB, 2007 Cover: Photograph showing Wondo Genet area in the eastern part of the study area. In the foreground smallholder agriculture is seen against the natural forest of the escarpments. Once a closed forest, the area is now agricultural land where annual crops such as maize are grown by smallholder farmers. Landholdings are less than one hectare in size. Whitish cluster in center left is the Wondo Genet College of Forestry. The light green tone at the foothills reveals predominantly khat farms pushing the forest frontier up the escarpment. Photograph by Gessesse Dessie, June 2004 Doctoral dissertation 2007 Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Physical Geography Department of Physical Geography and Quaternary Geology Stockholm University Gessesse Dessie Abstract This study presents the extent, history and process of forest decline in Awassa watershed, south central Ethiopia. By combining different data sources such as satellite images, social surveys and historical documents, forest decline is de- scribed quantitatively and qualitatively and the main causes behind this process are identified. Forest decline in the study area is interpreted as the result of a combination of socio-political changes, economic activities, population growth, cultural patterns and agricultural developments while local conflicts over resour- ces also play an important role. The findings of this study reveal forest decline to be a continuous process associated with spatial fragmentation and location specific losses.

  • Engendering Ethiopia' Forest and Climate Governance for Equitable
    Solange Bandiaky. Regional Gender Expert Africa Adaptation Program Engendering Ethiopia’ Forest and Climate Governance for Equitable and Rights-based Carbon Market and Clean Development Mechanisms This document provides a response to the following questions from a gender perspective What kind of institutional arrangements will be appropriate at the federal and regional levels? How does the forestry governance system affect the implementation of initiatives to support Reduction of Emissions from Deforestation (REDD+), CDM projects of Afforestation and Reforestation in particular, and bio carbon in general? The Participatory Forest Management approach (drawbacks, potential to be scaled up, etc.). It is a gender policy analysis of the following climate documents Ethiopian Forest Resources: current status and future management options in view of access to carbon finances; Manual for Measurement and Monitoring of Carbon Stocks in Forests and Other Land Uses in Ethiopia; Forum Brief. The aim is to give a situational analysis of the link between gender and REDD+ and CDM processes, mechanisms, and policy (context, challenges, opportunities, , implications, and experiences from other countries); also propositions on how to make REDD+ and CDM pro- gender, pro-poor, and pro-rights and tenure with strong forestry institutional arrangement with adequate capacity, proper policy and legislation, access to finance and benefit sharing, and capacity building. The following questions have guided the gender analysis. Gender questions in the context of carbon market and CDM - What are the gender options under REDD+ and CDM? What are the strategic paths to pursuit, and how to link it with the existing policy choices (poverty reduction, renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, community-based adaptation, etc.)? - Adequate financial compensation for efforts to preserve forests and to participate in sustainable forest management (SFM) initiatives.
