The Landscape Governance Assessment Tool
This guide presents the Landscape Governance Assessment Tool (LGAT) and the Decision Support System (DSS). It is intended for people addressing a variety of problems linked to forested landscapes, such as alleviating rural poverty, restoring degraded lands, meeting national climate commitments, or conserving biodiversity. The LGAT measures the strengths and weaknesses of governance in a forested landscape. Drawing on expert and stakeholder knowledge, the LGAT assesses the quality of governance and produces a summary rating, called the Landscape Governance Index (LGI). The tool can be used at many stages of a project, but it is primarily intended to provide an informed starting point for discussing and designing governance reforms. The DSS component creates a roadmap for reform by identifying priority areas, generating ideas for reform, and analyzing them to arrive at practical ways forward. Overall, the tool identifies reform pathways that have a good chance of making a difference in the landscape. The LGAT score demonstrates the need, while stakeholder and expert involvement in both the measurement and DSS steps shape and garner support for reforms. The DSS analysis screens the reforms to identify those likely to be practical and effective.

| Summary: | This guide presents the Landscape
Governance Assessment Tool (LGAT) and the Decision Support
System (DSS). It is intended for people addressing a variety
of problems linked to forested landscapes, such as
alleviating rural poverty, restoring degraded lands, meeting
national climate commitments, or conserving biodiversity.
The LGAT measures the strengths and weaknesses of governance
in a forested landscape. Drawing on expert and stakeholder
knowledge, the LGAT assesses the quality of governance and
produces a summary rating, called the Landscape Governance
Index (LGI). The tool can be used at many stages of a
project, but it is primarily intended to provide an informed
starting point for discussing and designing governance
reforms. The DSS component creates a roadmap for reform by
identifying priority areas, generating ideas for reform, and
analyzing them to arrive at practical ways forward. Overall,
the tool identifies reform pathways that have a good chance
of making a difference in the landscape. The LGAT score
demonstrates the need, while stakeholder and expert
involvement in both the measurement and DSS steps shape and
garner support for reforms. The DSS analysis screens the
reforms to identify those likely to be practical and effective. |
