The purpose of this policy workshop was (1) to disseminate the experiences of recent forest
sector reforms from other countries in Latin America and the world to policy-makers,
legislators, academics, non-governmental organizations, private companies, and rural forest
producers and their associations; (2) to aid the implementation of the new forest policy
framework embodied in the proposed forest legislation by presenting successful experiences
and lessons from decentralization of forest sector responsibilities.
