STAKEHOLDER TOOLKIT

The Stakeholder Toolkit serves as a directory of guidance materials and institutional networks for government entities. It categorizes resources into general forest governance tools, specific reports on jurisdictional sustainability and REDD+ strategies, and a list of international forums and programs such as the Global Environmental Facility and the Governor’s Climate and Forest Task Force. The toolkit distinguishes between resources tailored for national governments and those designed for local-level officials and subnational entities.

• The toolkit identifies several key resources for forest governance, including the FACT Roadmap (2021) which focuses on market development, smallholder support, traceability and transparency, and research, development, and innovation; the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs' Global Forest Goals Report (2021) on the UN Strategic Plan for Forests; and FAO guides on forest resource tenure and sustainable forest management of public forest land concessions.
• For national and local governments, the toolkit highlights reports on jurisdictional sustainability, including a synthesis of 39 subnational tropical jurisdictions and the WWF Guide to Building REDD+ Strategies, which explains how sub-national entities can support national policies to reduce carbon emissions from deforestation and forest degradation.
• The document lists several intergovernmental and scientific organizations supporting forest management, such as the Global Environmental Facility (GEF), which manages the Sustainable Forest Management Impact Program for the Amazon and Congo Basin and the FOLUR Impact Program involving 27 countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
• The toolkit identifies networks specifically for subnational and local governance, including the Governor’s Climate and Forest Task Force comprising 39 subnational entities, ICLEI—Local Governments for Sustainability with over 2500 members, and the Jurisdictional Exchange Network from the Tropical Forest Alliance.
