| is.evaluation.notes | The paper examines the social impact of FSC certification with a special focus on participation of the local population. This is done by evaluating the relationship of six logging companies on FSC certified concessions in Cameroon with the local communities. A positive impact of FSC certification is found by fostering multi-stakeholder platforms for better communication and conflict solution. What is still to be improved is a fairer balance of power for a communication between equals. | |
