‘The Pyramid’ is a diagnostic tool providing a framework for highlighting factors that limit progress towards Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) by stimulating:participatory and transparent assessmentdialoguetarget-settingmonitoring at the country levelIt further aims to fill the ‘forest governance gap’ between the management unit and international policy level by assessing:global-local linkssector-sector linksdiffering personal and institutional valuesThe tool identifies elements of good forest governance common to a wide range of countries and groups them into several tiers:Verification: audit, certification or participatory review undertakenExtension: promotion of SFM to consumers and stakeholders undertakenInstruments: coherent set of ‘carrots and sticks’ for implementation in placePolicies: forest policies, standards for SFM and legislation in placeRoles: stakeholder roles and institutions in forestry and land use negotiated and developedFoundations: property/ tenure rights and constitutional guarantees, market and investment conditions, mechanisms for engagement with extra-sectoral influences, recognition of lead forest institutions (in government, civil society and private sector).For each of the elements the tool then asks three questions:What’s working?What’s missing?What needs to be done?From the results a simple ‘score’ assessment of each element is generated.
