sector at central level and local level; different experts; some key NGOs; and representatives of private sector in Vietnam, about issues of assessment of FGM in Vietnam. The documentation analysis and interviews, mainly, were conducted in the context of the two relations: • Firstly, the relation between FGM on one side and implementation of the 5 programs of Vietnam Forestry Development Strategy 2006-2020 and their targets, on the other side. In current circumstances this, perhaps, is an appropriate way to get the background paper for the workshop, because by this way the paper can bring what the workshop participants are familiar with, interested in and confident to join discussions. • Secondly, FGM is assessed through documentation analysis and interviews in the context of the FAO FGM framework, but only of the 3 pillars and 6 principles and not 13 components and 77 sub-components. Recently, Vietnam achieved some very important results in forest sector, especially in increase of forest cover, forest products export and poverty reduction in mountainous areas. Forest governance in Vietnam, no doubt, provided considerable contributions to those achievements. However, this report will rather focus on finding issues, not for criticism but for opportunities to improve the forest governance towards sustainably managed forests and sustainable development of Vietnam forestry. The documentation analysis and the discussions with the key organizations and persons in this field during preparation of this report therefore were conducted following this way. The background paper tried to provide (i) an overall picture of FGM in Vietnam, and f(ii) propose a set og indicators for strengthening FGM in Vietnam based on criteria: • Strengthening FGM is to improve quality of FG for implementation of programs of Vietnam Forestry Development Strategy 2006-2020; • Strengthening FGM should be appropriate to forestry sector administration system, in terms of sectoral, multi-sectoral and geographical aspects; • Strengthening FGM should not require to much additional resources; • Strengthening FGM should be appropriate to FAO framework so that FGM in Vietnam can be, to certain extent, similar with global FGM. Total number of proposed indicators is 150, including 16 areas as bellows: • General indicators (12); • Forestry land and 3 types of forest (11); • Forest and forest land rental and allocation (10); • State forest enterprise restructuring (21); • Timber harvesting from natural forests (2); • Conversion of natural forest into rubber plantation and other purposes (12); • Beneficiary policy (5); 90
• Forest Protection (9); • Handling of violations related to forest (11); • Forest fire prevention and fire fighting (3); • Protection forests and special-use forests (5); • Forest environment services (5); • Forestry finance (10); • Forest Products Processing and Trade (8). • FLEGT và VPA (16); • REDD (10). Each from the set of the proposed indicators has its own reference code to the 3 pillars and the 6 principle of FAO FGM framework which is a effort to get the first basis for getting a certain resemblance of Vietnam FGM with FAO FGM framework. Due to time and resources constraints, and “forest governance monitoring” is a complex issue, the background paper surely contains certain shortcomings which we expect to get and appreciate every input to address them.
