Stakeholders at the international, regional, national and subnational levels have attached importance to criteria and indicators as providing a framework for policy formulation and monitoring of sustainable forest management and national forest programmes.

Implementation of national forest programmes. The proposals for action have effectively shaped the national forest programmes and their equivalents in many countries, and these national forest programmes have become national institutional frameworks for achieving sustainable forest management.

(c) Strengthen the vertical linkages between forest policy development and dialogue at the global, regional, national and local levels.

CPF members state that, increasingly, national forest programmes are seen as an effective tool for cross sectoral and participatory policy making and for translating international forest related commitments into practice.

(d) Making sustainable forest management a higher priority, inter alia, through integrating the National Forest Programme or other national forest strategies into national planning strategies, including poverty reduction strategies where they exist

Malawi's National Forestry Policy and the National Forestry Programme have provided the basic guidance and foundation on the role of women in forest management at the implementation levels.

To the right of it is national forest.

Decentralization in the forest sector should not be implemented in isolation from a general national forestry strategy such as national forest programs.

Women are in leadership positions at the national policy level in forestry and are among the leading participants for the United States in international policy and planning related to sustainable forest management.

For example, the FAO Regional Forestry Commissions have helped extend the global forest policy dialogue to the national level, by bringing together heads of the national forestry agencies, in the respective regions, to discuss policy and technical issues of interest.

Forest landscape restoration is a local mechanism that should be integrated with both sectoral and extra sectoral national development processes, including poverty reduction strategies and national forest programmes.

Participation on a national level in the formulation and implementation of national forest policies is essential.

(l) Integrate national forest programmes, or other strategies for sustainable forest management, as referred to in paragraph 6 (a) above, into national strategies for sustainable development, relevant national action plans and poverty reduction strategies

Despite substantial progress in the formulation and implementation of national forest policies, deforestation and forest degradation continue at an alarming rate.

For the future, there is a need to involve those working on forest policy at the national level, including stakeholders, more fully in the work of the Forum.

The reform of forestry policy is introducing two important innovations (i) preparation of forest management plans and (ii) adoption of forest certification and labelling systems.

CPF members explain that they have facilitated national forest programmes in a number of important ways, including through the National Forest Programme Facility and the Programme on Forests (PROFOR).7
