Bromhead, Marjory-Anne2012-12-062012-12-062012-06https://hdl.handle.net/10986/11927The purpose of this paper is to outline an approach for Bank engagement in forests, trees, and woodlands on farms in Sub-Saharan Africa for the coming five years. The paper takes the framework of the Africa development strategy, which has two main pillars: supporting employment and competitiveness, and building resilience and reducing vulnerability; and one underlying foundation: strengthening capacity and governance. It is consistent with the pillars of the bank forest strategy from 2002, which highlight the contribution of forests to economic development, poverty reduction, and protection of global public goods. Several other World Bank corporate strategies are also relevant for the implementation of this action plan. The primary messages of this paper are linked: enhanced forest, tree and woodland management can play a key role in achieving the goals of the Africa Strategy. Employment generation, improving competitiveness as well as building resilience and reducing vulnerability are the overall objectives of the World Bank's forest engagement in Sub-Saharan Africa; and in many countries the most effective approaches will be outside the traditional forestry institutions and will involve working through operations and reforms supported through other sectors.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO INFORMATIONACTION PLANAGRICULTURAL LANDAGRICULTURAL LAND-USEAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTUREAGROFORESTRYANIMALANIMAL PROTEINAREA OF FORESTBAMBOOBEESBENEFIT SHARINGBIODIVERSITYBIODIVERSITY CONSERVATIONBIODIVERSITY VALUECARBONCARBON DIOXIDECARBON SINKCASH INCOMECLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISMCLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE VARIABILITYCOASTAL AREASCOASTAL ZONECOASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENTCOMMERCIAL VALUECOMMUNITY FORESTCOMMUNITY FOREST MANAGEMENTCONCESSION MANAGEMENTCONSERVATION INITIATIVESCONSERVATION ISSUESCONSERVATION OF NATURECONSERVATION ORGANIZATIONSCROWDING OUTCULTURAL SIGNIFICANCECULTURAL VALUESDECISION MAKINGDEFORESTATIONDEFORESTATION RATESDEGRADED LANDDEGRADED LANDSDEMAND FOR TIMBERDOMESTIC TIMBER PROCESSINGDROUGHTDROUGHTSDRY SEASONECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECOSYSTEMENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTSENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATIONENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTSEROSIONEROSION CONTROLEXPENDITURESFARM FORESTRYFARMSFISHERIESFLOCKSFODDERFORESTFOREST ADMINISTRATIONFOREST AREAFOREST AREASFOREST BIODIVERSITYFOREST BIOMASSFOREST CERTIFICATIONFOREST CONCESSIONFOREST CONCESSIONSFOREST COVERFOREST DEGRADATIONFOREST DEVELOPMENTFOREST DWELLERSFOREST ECONOMICSFOREST ECOSYSTEMSFOREST ENTERPRISESFOREST GOVERNANCEFOREST INDUSTRYFOREST INSTITUTIONSFOREST INVESTMENTFOREST LANDFOREST LAND-USE PLANNINGFOREST LANDSCAPEFOREST LANDSCAPE RESTORATIONFOREST LAWFOREST LAW ENFORCEMENTFOREST LEGISLATIONFOREST MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATIONFOREST MANAGEMENT PLANNINGFOREST MANAGEMENT PLANSFOREST OPERATIONSFOREST ORGANIZATIONSFOREST PLANNINGFOREST PLANTATIONSFOREST PRODUCTFOREST PROTECTIONFOREST REGENERATIONFOREST RESOURCEFOREST RESOURCE ASSESSMENTFOREST RESOURCE MANAGEMENTFOREST RESOURCE USEFOREST RESTORATIONFOREST SECTORFOREST STAFFFOREST STAKEHOLDERSFOREST STEWARDSHIPFOREST STRATEGYFORESTERSFORESTRYFORESTRY DEVELOPMENTFORESTRY INSTITUTIONSFORESTSGEOGRAPHIC INFORMATIONGEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMGREENHOUSE GASHABITATSHUMID FORESTSHUNTINGINSECTSISSUESLAKELAND ADMINISTRATIONLAND DEGRADATIONLAND MANAGEMENTLAND POLICYLAND RESOURCESLAND RIGHTSLAND TENURELAND TENURE REGIMESLAND TITLINGLAND USELAND USE PLANNINGLAND-USELAND-USE PLANNINGLEGAL MANDATELIVESTOCKLOG PRODUCTIONMANAGED FORESTSMANGROVE FORESTSMEDICINAL PLANTSMOUNTAIN GORILLASNATIONAL ACCOUNTINGNATURAL CAPITALNATURAL FORESTSNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCE DEGRADATIONNATURAL RESOURCE DEVELOPMENTNATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTNATURAL RESOURCESNATURE CONSERVATIONNOMADIC PASTORALISTSOILPALMPARTICIPATORY LAND USE PLANNINGPLANTATION FORESTRYPLANTATION FORESTSPLANTINGPOLICY ENVIRONMENTPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOLLINATIONPOPULATION DENSITIESPOPULATION GROWTHPRODUCERSPUBLIC GOODPUBLIC GOODSQUOTASRAINFORESTRAINFORESTSRECYCLINGREDUCING EMISSIONSREFORESTATIONRISK MANAGEMENTROADSRURAL COMMUNITIESSAFETY NETSAVANNAH WOODLANDSSOIL EROSIONSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENTSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENTSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF FORESTSTIMBERTIMBER FORESTTIMBER FOREST PRODUCTTIMBER FOREST PRODUCTSTIMBER HARVESTINGTIMBER INDUSTRIESTIMBER INDUSTRYTIMBER PLANTATIONSTIMBER PRODUCTIONTIMBER PRODUCTSTIMBER TRADETIMBER VALUETOURISMTOURISM DEVELOPMENTTOURISM INDUSTRYTOURISM PROMOTIONTRANSACTION COSTSTRAPPINGTREETREESTROPICAL FORESTWATERSHEDWATERSHED MANAGEMENTWILD ANIMALSWILDLIFEWILDLIFE MANAGEMENTWILDLIFE TRADEWILDLIFE TRADE MONITORINGWOODWOOD INDUSTRYWOODLANDWOODLANDSWorld Bank10.1596/11927
