International Conference on Forest Education: Breakout Group 2.4

Community groups, producer organizations and CSOs are important players in the forestry sector. These groups, either formal or informally organized, constitute efficient channels to exchange experiences and knowledge among farmers, producers and forest dwellers. They also are well-positioned for delivering capacity-building, education and extension services to their members as they are rooted on the ground, know the needs of their constituencies and have the local and traditional knowledge for the sustainable management of forests. This BOG will present the experiences of the Forest and Farm Facility and its partners working on strengthening the capacities and knowledge of communities, producer organizations and forest-dependent peoples on natural resources management. The presentations will promote discussions towards the needs and challenges of local communities and farmers experience regarding forest education and extension services; and the role of civil society organizations and community groups in the provision of education and extension services, and the importance of including traditional and local needs in the designing and delivering forest education and extension programs.
