The Caribbean Natural Resources Institute (CANARI) has received a grant from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) under its Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade Support Programme for African, Caribbean and Pacific countries (ACP-FLEGT Support Programme) for a regional project entitiled “Building capacity for participatory forest management for good governance in the Caribbean region”.
The ACP-FLEGT Support Programme is a collaborative effort among the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the European Commission and the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States (ACP) to address forest law enforcement, governance and trade issues in ACP member countries. The ACP-FLEGT Support Programme promotes the implementation of the EU FLEGT Action Plan in ACP countries by improving forest governance, providing technical assistance, capacity building and support to implement pilot projects.
Project goal
The goal of the project is to strengthen existing strategies to improve forest law compliance and governance by building the capacity of forest managers in at least six small island developing states in the Caribbean region to facilitate effective participatory management of forests through training, mentoring, development of a tool kit, and documenting and communicating illustrative case studies.
