DEVELOPING A NATIONAL FOREST PROGRAMME FOR MALAYSIA

摘要

The national forest programmes (nfps), as endorsed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Forests/Intergovernmental Forum on Forests (IPF/ IFF), encompasses a wide range of approaches to sustainable forest management within different countries, and can be applied at national and sub-national levels. It is emphasized that the nfps should embrace a broad inter-sectoral approach at all stages, including the formulation of policies, strategies, action plans, as well as their implementation, monitoring and evaluation. Furthermore, nfps should be implemented in the context of each country's socio-economic, cultural, political and environmental situation, and should be integrated into wider programmes for sustainable land use, taking into account the activities of the other sectors such as agriculture, energy and industrial development, and broader national development policy and planning frameworks, such as national economic development or poverty reduction strategies (PRSPs).
