is.evaluation.quotesIf countries wish to develop successful CFEs that help meet market demand for food, feed, fuel and fibre products, avoid deforestation and reduce poverty they need to put in place the three main enabling conditions of accessible commercial forestrights, processes of enterprise-oriented social organisation and infusion of competitive business skills.
is.evaluation.quotesBringing about these three enabling conditions for successful community forestry enterprise requires strong partnerships between forest communities (the rights holders), receptive governments (which critically determine the extent to which communities are rights holders), civil society groups (which can advocate for rightsand help facilitate social organization and business skill development) and private sector actors (especially financial investors and business development service providers).
is.evaluation.quotesThe general approach for infusing competitive business skills—involvingfacilitation of market development—is an entire subject in its own right (describedin Macqueen et al. 2009). Findings of this study offer three policy implications: (1)supportive intermediary institutions that have a mandate for work with CFEs canplay more of a role in CFE business capacity development than is currently the case;(2) the focus of such institutions is often most usefully oriented toward thefacilitation of pre-existing business development or financial service providers,rather than toward the supply of all services themselves; and (3) financingparticipatory value chain analysis and interventions as part of CFE business skilldevelopment can add-value by developing capacity amongst CFEs and supportinstitutions at the same time.
