with a case study on capacity building in Southern Sudan

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The purpose of writing this book was to produce information on and practical recommendations for informed decision-making on and capacity building for sustainable forest management (SFM) and good forest governance. This was done within the overall global framework for sustainable development with special emphasis on the EU-Africa relations and on Southern Sudan in particular. The case study on Southern Sudan focused on local, national and regional issues encompassing interviews and group discussions with local community members and government officials in Renk County in Upper Nile State. As a whole, this book attempted to link the global, regional, national and local levels in forest-sector development and especially to analyse how the international policy development in environmental and forestry issues is reflected in field-level progress towards SFM and good forest governance, for the specific case of Southern Sudan.
