'The World Bank Forest Strategy: Striking the Right Balance'
identifies seven factors that would make the World Bank forest
strategy more pertinent as well as strengthen the World Bank's
ability to achieve its strategic objectives in the forest sector.
The report recommends that the World Bank use its global reach to
address both mechanisms and finances for international resource
mobilization on concessional terms outside its normal lending
activities. It also advises the World Bank to be proactive in
establishing partnerships with all relevant stakeholders,
governments, the private sector, and civil society to meet both its
country and global roles. The focus on primary tropical moist
forests should be broadened to include all types of natural forests
of national and global value. The book suggests that illegal
logging needs to be reduced through the promotion of improved
governance and enforcement. Other recommendations are to give
consideration to forest issues in all relevant sector activity and
macroeconomic work, address the employment needs of all poor people
while continuing to protect the rights of indigenous people, and to
realign the World Bank resources with their objectives in the
forest sector. This report assesses progress since the World Bank
first issued its comprehensive Forest Strategy in 1991. The earlier
document sent a strong message about changed objectives in the
forest sector and provided a new focus on conservation. In
examining implementation over the past decade, the new report finds
that the effectiveness of the strategy has been modest, and the
sustainability of its impact is uncertain.
