| is.evaluation.notes | Interesting perspective on the importance of context, or 'enabling conditions' needed for effective implementation of the standards: the need for 'multi-scale advocacy coalitions' | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | This case highlights how FSC's requirements for the protection of HCV forests were supported by strong and sustained transnational environmental networks, stretching from the node of design to the site of implementation, working both inside and outside of the FSC system. | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | Even with the extra efforts of this NGO, however, the impact of certification on the distribution of material benefits to local communities was minimal. In particular, certification failed to address local community concerns over the loss of small and medium forest enterprises, the high price of fuelwood, and loss of local access to sawnwood and building materials. | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | we find no evidence that certification was addressing local community concerns for distributive equity. In particular, certification had failed to address the loss of small and medium forest enterprises, loss of local access to sawnwood and rising costs of fuelwood. This highlights the power dynamics of global standards implementation and the need for multi-scale advocacy coalitions to ensure their effective implementation. | |
