Abstract
This evaluation was conducted jointly by
the Operations Evaluation Department (OED) and Global
Environment Facility (GEF). It examines the degree to which
Global Environment Facility (GEF) policies are compatible
with the World Bank's Forest Strategy. It highlights a
number of GEF-specific issues that are significant to
forests and to the impact of the World Bank's
GEF-funded forest sector portfolio from 1991 to June 1999.
The report recommends developing policies and projects that
more effectively work with sustainable forest use and
management to incorporate conservation objectives, as well
as expanding forest strategy goals into the private sector
forest industry. The study advises that the World
Bank's partnership with the GEF for sustainable
conservation of the world's forest biodiversity be
expanded, with more strategically developed and realistic
goals and more innovative approaches.
