Forest management planning framework - property rights and decentralisation : : a Theoretical overview

Zusammenfassung: This working paper is the second of a series of three papers constituting a part of the author’s PhD thesis entitled ‘Design of a planning system for sustainable forest management in the Congo Basin’. Congo Basin rainforests are among the world's most threatened (deforestation and degradation) ecosystems and constitute a major environmental problem nowadays. The absence of sustainable use has been partly due to the globally insufficient quality of forest management plans, associated with the general lack of planning outcomes implementation. Accordingly, this paper is based on the understanding that the institutional aspect of planning includes in Congo Basin region mainly two concepts: property rights and decentralisation. The main tenet of this paper touches on reviews of recent developments and key issues in relation to property rights and decentralisation within the context of forest resource management. Therefore this paper revisits the debate about property rights4 and decentralisation5 of natural resources and brings together various issues. It indicates that this institutional framework has long been ignored and should be an important feature of future forest management planning and implementation
