The forests of the Congo basin : state of the forest 2006
Describes the aims and achievements of the "Strengthening Voices for Better Choices" project in Brazil, particularly as it relates to work in Acre.
This report synthesises the findings of six participatory national assessments carried out under IUCN's Strengthening Voices for Better Choices (SVBC) global forest governance project. The purpose of these assessments was to provide an understanding of the policy, regulatory and institutional obstacles to using forests sustainably. Each produced many valuable findings, insights and recommendations for improving forest governance, all of which were validated through broad stakeholder consultation.
