Conclusions of Inventory• Governance diffuse; characterised by ad hoc

incrementalism• Few provisions on sustainable forest

management• Deforestation results from different drivers at

different levels of operation• International governance creates synergies and

conflicts• Coordination limited

• Management : CFM; Common property resource management; CNRM; stewardship; Joint forest management; NGO management; multiple use forest management
