• Analysis and impact assessment of forestland allocation policy and the performance at province, district and commune level to explore how the policies, regulations functioning on the ground. • Information of feedback from district, and commune level about the implementation of Decision 245/TTg in term of forest management decentralization process. 3.6.4. Coherence and cooperation at local and provincial level The cooperation among relevant organizations in carrying out state policies within the vertical axis was relatively good, as indicated by most of the interviewees and discussion groups. Nevertheless, the cooperation among agencies in the horizontal axis still faced a great deal of challenges. For instance, there were a lot of differences in the forest resources and land data recorded by DARD and provincial Department of Natural Resources and Environment (DONRE). When asked about the differences, these two agencies gave reasonable explanations based on their own viewpoints. What is monitored/ measured already? • The guidelines, and policy direction mentioned generally about cooperation, collaboration among government organizations, departments during carrying out the policies. • Number of committees mixed members from different department to regulate certain projects and programs for forest development. What needs to monitored/measured in the future? • Transparent of policy development process including budgeting and cost benefit analysis for all forest management and development project with cleared tasks and responsibility of each actors involved. • Number of time that head of different department have meeting to deal with crucial issues happening in the province, and district levels. • The information/data jointly published by two or more government agencies. • Frequency of the regular meetings, and the ad hoc meeting held among the departments at province level. 3.6.5. Staff capacities at provincial and district level Concerning the capacity of local forestry organizations, results from interviews and group discussions indicated that provincial agencies/organizations were well trained and capable of completing their tasks. Each professional discipline was managed by given organizations and agencies. Provincial staff members often received good training based on the human resource development strategy of forest sector. Issue that needs attention: • At the district and commune levels, staff members were not qualified enough. Moreover, there were not sufficient numbers of staff working for the forest sector. This was because of a budget shortage and preparations for permanent staff members. Another reason was that many people assumed that the forest sector was not a productive field. 56
What is monitored/ measured already? • Number of staff working for forestry sector at province, district and commune level and their education level (technician, engineer, and post-graduation). • Number of training courses provided to the local staff yearly. • Number of staff got refreshing courses for their professional. What needs to monitored/measured in the future? • Capacity building efforts at district and commune level. • Percent of new staff appointed proper to their background in forestry sector. • Training need assessment at district and commune levels. • Amount of time that staff at district and commune level really involved in forestry activities rather than the other tasks. • Information about local educated students come back home to work in forestry sector and the seasons. • Job competition and the opportunity for staff working in forestry sector based on the statistic information in the past (it should be available in the personnel section of the district). 3.7. Main initiatives relevant to <strong>FGM</strong> in Vietnam 3.7. 1.
