The objective of this manual is to provide the basic framework and material to trainers in order for them to train field level staff to become facilitators in the Forest Management Learning Group process. The overall training objective is to build their confidence and skills in order to be able to facilitate the Forest Management Learning Group process in their own area.
The Strengthening Voices for Better Choices (SVBC) project is currently operating in six tropical forest countries (Brazil, Ghana, Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, Sri Lanka and Viet Nam). To allow key stakeholders to acquire the skills and knowledge that will allow them to participate more effectively in the development and implementation of new and improved forest governance arrangements, a capacity needs assessment (CNA) process for the six national components of SVBC was designed.
