EU Forest Action in CAMBODIA : Deforestation-free Agriculture Value Chains 🇰🇭

The project is one of two inaugural projects that the Programme has launched in Cambodia, supporting the implementation of the European Union’s FLEGT Action Plan to address deforestation in tropical timber-producing countries.

Guiding harvests in Community Forests

There is no precedent of legal timber harvests from CF areas due to the absence of technical and legal guidelines for harvesting timber. The legal and technical procedures to be developed will provide community-friendly guidelines for harvesting timber in the CF context sustainably. The proposed guidelines may include approval processes, benefit-sharing mechanisms, tree marking, and rapid market analyses to sell harvested timber.

Supporting national policy processes

To develop these legal and technical procedures, RECOFTC will draw upon previous efforts, namely recommendations on possible updates to the regulations governing CFs, known as Prakas. These include proposals on updates to royalty payments on community timber, the promotion of private forest investment for communities, and the development of simple guidelines and training to increase economic benefits from CF management.
