Addressing Forest Governance Challenges in the Greater Mekong Region

RECOFTC – The Center for People and Forests, working with civil society partners as part of the European Union funded Voices for the Mekong Forests (V4MF) project, is seeking to better understand and address the governance challenges and opportunities facing forest landscapes in the five countries of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) as well as putting forward a programme to address these through strengthening the role of non-state actors (NSAs). To this end, forest governance and capacity needs assessments were conducted in late 2017 and early 2018 in all five countries and three transboundary landscapes.
