Summary:

Inspired by the Guidelines, and recognizing forest tenure as a key part of the challenge, this Practical Guide on improving governance of forest tenure is for you if you want to rise to that challenge. It is for those who want to try to improve the governance of forest tenure, and it helps you to take action in four critical areas understanding, organizing, engaging and ensuring to improve decision-making about forest goods and services. It starts by highlighting some important opportunities and challenges in governance today and directs you to further information, appropriate to how you identify yourself as a stakeholder and what type of opportunity or challenge you are facing. It then lays out a toolkit containing some 86 tools described in summary form and nine key tools explained in some depth. These tools are labeled for their appropriateness in different governance contexts and for the amount of time, money and skills needed to use them. A glossary and extensive Web-linked bibliography for further inspiration are also provided."
