Strategic Plan 2004-2009 
After months of hard work, we are very pleased to share with you
our strategic plan - "Multiplying the
Impact of Community Forestry: RECOFTC Strategic Plan 2004-2009".
It embodies many hours of discussion, reflection and debate. We
hope you will find the document useful in understanding what RECOFTC
plans to achieve over the next few years. More than that, we hope
you will work closely with us to ensure that effective policies,
institutions and processes for community forestry will be the norm,
rather than the exception, in Asia and the Pacific in the long term.

Networking in Thailand to provide opportunities for participants to find
out how local communities in Thailand set up their networking channels.

New training manual
The training manual on Community-based
Tourism for Conservation and development is designed
to provide training or facilitation guidelines for individuals,
organizations or institutions that have an interest in building
knowledge, skills, and experience of field workers either by using
CBT Development or the Appreciative Participatory Planning and Action
(APPA) approach
Standards-Based Approaches in Community Forestry Development
RECOFTC commissioned two case studies on community-oriented SBAs
to investigate their impacts. In Lao PDR, certification is a market-oriented
approach, based on third party verification of minimum agreed-upon
standards with villagers having only little involvement. Environmental
Performance Monitoring in the Philippines is a management-oriented
approach, based on first-party verification of C&I, developed
mainly to monitor forest trends.
Forest management
The In Search of Excellence initiative got underway
in November 2001. The initiative called for nominations of forests
in the Asia-Pacific region that demonstrate exemplary management
