A successful process to advance forest landscape restoration (FLR) needs to motivate, enable and resource its implementation. This brief offers a preliminary exploratory analysis of some of the range of policies that respond to each of these three requirements. 

The first part of this document offers guidance to assess the development of new or existing inter-institutional coordination mechanisms (ICMs) for forest landscape restoration (FLR). The second part presents an analysis of two case studies of ICMs from TRI country projects where the network evaluation framework was applied. Finally, the foregoing analysis is synthesised in a series of conclusions and recommendations for future work.

This report intends to identify the opportunities and barriers of introducing and scaling up of FLR into selected pilot landscapes of Ethiopia: the districts (or woredas used as a synonym throughout this document) of Sodo and Meket, located in SNNP and Amhara regions respectively.

Para que la restauración de paisajes forestales (RPF) sea sostenible y responda a las múltiples necesidades medioambientales y del desarrollo, es necesario que exista diálogo y coordinación entre los diferentes sectores, 

El Objetivo 15 de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) consiste en «proteger, restaurar y promover el aprovechamiento sostenible de los ecosistemas terrestres, la gestión sostenible de los bosques, la lucha contra la desertización, así como detener e invertir la degradación de los suelos y la pérdida de biodiversidad».

L’objectif de développement durable (ODD) n° 15 vise à : « Protéger, restaurer et promouvoir l’utilisation durable des écosystèmes terrestres, gérer durablement les forêts, lutter contre la désertification, stopper et inverser la dégradation des terres et la perte de biodiversité.

For forest landscape restoration (FLR) to be sustainable and responsive to multiple developmental and environmental needs, we need dialogue and coordination among sectors, actors and institutions.
