ex smma ll wh bIn ten forest hotspot countries across Africa and Asia, a novel alliance the IIED-steered Forest

Governance Learning Group (FGLG) has been working since 2003 on ways to shift power over

forests towards those who enable and pursue sustainable forest-linked livelihoods. Teams in each

of these countries work to connect people marginalised from forest governance to those controlling

it, and push for better decisions. They have developed practical tactics for securing safe space,

sparking dialogue, building constituencies, wielding evidence and interacting politically. FGLG has

produced lms about tackling forest governance issues that work locally and internationally, as well

as local theatre pieces, comics, policy briefs and targeted opinion pieces.

An independent review of FGLG was commissioned in 2009 to nd out the extent of its impact and trace the

Justice in the forestsis the title of a set of lms launched in 2011 about the issues tackled by FGLG. Theselms give extraordinary insight into some of the toughest challenges facing both forests and people and

some of the governance-based solutions that could turn this around. Made by IIED and an independent lm-

maker, Dominic Elliot, and involving many in the FGLG network, these lms have been widely viewed online,

opp hForest governance is a critical issue for millions of people around the world. Yet, despite the efforts

of many, good forest management is not yet mainstream and local people remain marginalised.

Motivating the Forest Governance Learning Group (FGLG) is the belief that sufcient national and

international opportunities can be seized to turn this situation around.

New opportunities galvanize the FGLG to innovate; nding new angles and methods to have impact. Problems

National and international initiatives on REDD are in a variety of planning stages across the world.

As FGLG, we have a practical platform on which to speak in a high prole way about REDD and

governance and, potentially, to positively affect their outcomes.

For REDD to work, nance for actual REDD payments for emissions reductions needs to be in place. At the

moment, this will seemingly be through a mix of public and market nance. The public funding is through

Government agencies have critical roles to play in

governance. The idea that local people and NGOs

can and should take over governance completely is

ridiculous. In the case of REDD, local people alone will

not be able to shape and deliver the needed outcomes

globally - we need to have national ownership of REDD,

and to empower people to control the conditions.

FGLG country teams regularly share news

of their progress and plans. The Groups

periodic learning events represent a particularly

important opportunity for each team to

discuss their work and receive quite rigorous

evaluation, critique and advice from their peers.

Joint lesson-learning is the main result. In

December 2010 the seventh (since 2003) major

FGLG learning event was held in Namaacha,

Mozambique. Country team presentations delved

into which tactics have worked, which havent,

and which might be usefully applied in other

country contexts.

Internationally, the Forest Governance Learning Group has been involved with cross-country work

amongst the teams, and a variety of other initiatives. The following gives an introduction to these

projects and initiatives run by, or linked to, FGLG.

Tackling forest governance: how small groups can have a big

impact is the title of the rst short lm that looks at the work of

FGLG across the countries and the tactics used to address country-specic issues. Justice in the forests

is a longer 20 minute lm, the overview of the series, giving an insight into common trials and tribulations

faced across forest nations, and some solutions. These lms can be viewed at: http://www.iied.org/natural-

resources/key-issues/forestry/justice-forests-series-short-lms.

There are also four short lms looking at the particular issues faced in Ghana, Uganda, Vietnam and Malawi.

Comments received

I am working at the Cat Ba Biosphere Reserve in Vietnam, where we are also actively

searching for chances to develop/legalize a participation framework for the local

communities, including their rights of managing forests and using non-timber forest

products. My colleagues and I enjoyed watching the lms a lot. We had further useful

reections on our current UNESCO-funded project on Developing Regulations onCommunity Rights of Non-Timber Forest Products.

Tuyn L Thanh

Ofce of the Cat Ba Archipelago Biosphere Reserve, Vietnam

I was so inspired by the Justice in the Forests lms; my Director was so inspired too

he wants our whole department to focus on lms now!

Francesca Romano, FAO

I am most grateful for giving me the opportunity to know more about the forest situation

in my home country. Thank you very much and thanks to [the] team for a doing

wonderful work.

The Justice in the Forests series is excellent. In particular, were interested in the Ghana

video in its entirety - there are several sequences specically dealing with the relationship

between poverty and biodiversity which we would like to integrate.

I received the Justice in the Forests DVD yesterday and enjoyed it so much I had

to write and say thanks and congratulations to the IIED on a great set of short lms.

I wish we had people producing things like this in Madagascar (where it is just too

dominated by big conservation and biodiversity and not enough about rights and

livelihoods). Its great work you are all doing (IIED and partners) - perhaps at some stage

in the future Madagascar will become a place where these tools and approaches can

also be rolled out.

Two widespread cross-cutting phenomena are troubling;

the rst is a tendency for recentralisation, which is

occurring on resource rights. The second is that the

land available for communities is now vanishing at a fast

rate. This land grab, in Africa and globally, is happening

very fast and may soon make REDD meaningless if it is

unchecked.

Just forest governance has become something of a catchphrase for FGLG indicating the sole and

dedicated focus on governance, but also insinuating justice as the main concern. The phrase alsoimplies perhaps that forest governance is an everyday business at its core a very simple and sane

thing and FGLG likes this implication.

Both concessionaires and local communities need greater incentive to grow trees commercially,

for example by developing nurseries and replanting with valuable commercial trees.
