Governance is a crucial factor in the equity, effectiveness and sustainability of forest landscape restoration (FLR). The Restoration Opportunities Assessment Methodology (ROAM) provides a framework for governments, rights-holders and stakeholders to define and prioritise FLR options. This publication presents lessons learned and offers recommendations on governance aspects of the ROAM framework and process. It aims to reinforce the ability of ROAM to inform effective, equitable and sustainable FLR.

This study aims to contribute to global and regional gender-climate policy data; enrich regional and national information to better target assistance to countries, their stakeholders and supporters; and inform more robust gender-responsive policymaking, knowledge and action at greater scales.
