Industry Development and Efficiency (IDE)

In keeping with the above Decisions, this document reports on the status of TP implementation and theprogress made since the 55th Session of the Council held in Lomé, Togo, 2 – 7 December 2019.
Under the TPs, 79 projects had been approved for funding: 29 under TFLET; 31 under REDDES; 5 under
CFME; and 14 under TMT. As of September 2020, 72 projects have been completed, four projects have lapsed
into ‘sunset’ and three projects have been terminated in accordance with the provision under Decision 6(LII).
Two projects, i.e., TFL-PD 044/13 Rev.2 (M) ‘Strengthening of ANAM’s management capacity to reduce illegal
logging and trade in the eastern region of Panama (Bayano and Darien) through monitoring and control
mechanisms’ and RED-SPD 079/12 Rev.1 (F) ‘Strengthening of governance and sustainable management ofmangrove ecosystems in Guatemala as a climate change adaptation measure’ have been completed during thereporting period and project summaries including achievements are provided in Annex I of this document. With
the completion of these two projects, there are no ongoing projects remaining under the Thematic Programmes.

Summary:
The aim of this project was to follow up on one of the outputs of the ITTO-financed project PD 405/06 Rev.3 (F):“Extending the area under sustainable forest management in the forest lands of the Emberá-Wounaan
Comarca, Darien, Panama”, which conducted an analysis and described the institutional, administrative andsocio-economic factors leading to illegal logging in the Eastern Region of Panama (Bayano and Darien) andproduced a framework document on guidelines and strategies which require immediate institutional action toarrest incremental forest degradation caused by illegal logging practices and other unsustainable activities. The
main objective of this project was to contribute to the prevention and control of illegal logging and trade in the
Eastern Region of Panama (Bayano and Darien) by strengthening the Ministry of Environment’s capacity toensure efficient and effective forest sector management and increased community awareness on forest
degradation as a result of illegal logging and related illegal trade in forest products. The project also
complemented ITTO project ‘Tropical Forest Governance in the Region of Darien, Panama’ PD 602/11 Rev.3(F), which was completed in 2018.
Progress:
The project was approved under the 6th TFLET Cycle (2013). Following its financing, the project experienced asignificant delay in signing the project agreement due to the revision and finalization of the project document
and a change of the responsible ministry (from ANAM to Ministry of Environment (MiAmbiente)) in Panama. The
project agreement regulating the implementation of the project was finally signed in January 2016 and after theapproval of the inception report, the first instalment of funds was sent in April 2016 which marked the official
start of the implementation of this project.
The suspension of ITTO funding during the financial impairment in 2016 caused delays in releasing the second
instalment in late 2016 and therefore in the implementation of project activities. The Executing Agency had toprioritize the use of funds to cover the contract for the design of the FTCS. However, after some adjustments tothe work plan, in coordination with MiAmbiente, the EA managed to get support from WWF and the FAO FLEGTProgramme to continue the implementation of the planned activities through the first half of 2017. In mid-2017
an agreement was reached to reduce the remaining project budget by 10% and a revised work plan was
submitted so that the ITTO funding could be normalized and reactivated. The second installment was disbursed
in September 2017, the third in June 2018 and the fourth and final installment in mid-2019. A Project Steering
Committee meeting and monitoring visit by ITTO and one TFLET donor (Japan) occurred in January 2019; afinal PSC occurred in January 2020 prior to project completion.
The project was successfully completed in mid-2020 (the project duration was extended with no impact on the
ITTO budget), having achieved all foreseen outputs and objectives under the revised budget and work plan. It
achieved significant results in capacity assessment and development of a strategic plan for the Directorate ofForests (DIFOR) created in MiAmbiente, in the design of the Forest Traceability and Control System (FTCS) for
the Darien region, and in continuing the communications strategy initiated by project PD 602/11 R3 (F).

ITTC(LVI)/8
Page 6
Achievements, impacts and lessons learned:
The project contributed to the following TFLET specific objectives:
1. Strengthen forest law compliance and governance through improved national policy and legal
frameworks, strengthened enforcement and other institutions, improved data and knowledge,
strengthened partnerships and improved cooperation among the private sector, civil society
organizations and other stakeholders;
2. Improve transparency and effective management of supply chains and increased domestic andinternational trade in legally produced tropical timber.
Despite the delay of inception, the implementation of this project, particularly the design and implementation of
the FTCS, attracted strong interest from MiAmbiente, the private sector and other stakeholders. Illegal logging
and transport of timber have been significantly reduced in the Darien region where the FTCS is now operationalon a smart-phone platform allowing easy application by all regulatory officials.
The communications strategy that has been developed is contributing to a positive debate on the needs of thesector, stressing the need for incentives to promote forest management and responsible procurement. The roleof civil society and consumers, as a powerful market force which begets change, has been enhanced throughthis communication strategy. Interactions between the members of Panama’s Forest Dialogue Table and theLegal Timber Network have been promoted; both groups participated in the development and validation processof the FTCS. The Executing Agency submitted the project completion report (Spanish only) in June 2020 whichis available from the Secretariat. A final financial audit was also submitted and approved, covering expenditureof project funds as per ITTO’s rules.
In 2020, MiAmbiente submitted a follow-up project through ITTO’s regular project cycle designed to facilitate
implementation of the FTCS in other regions of Panama.

Summary:
The lack of actions in Guatemala aimed at mangrove forest protection and management has led to the loss anddegradation of mangrove ecosystems outside of protected areas; weak mangrove forest management andgovernance; food insecurity; and limited economic opportunities for local communities. This project helped toaddress these problems. It also produced increased knowledge about the ecosystem dynamics and economic
contribution of mangrove forests so as to improve their management and rehabilitation. It strengthened andconsolidated Guatemala’s sustainable community forest management model. 15 sites directly linked to theprotection and management of mangrove ecosystems in seven prioritized departments actively promoted therestoration, management and special protection of over 700 hectares of mangrove forests under the project,with the effective participation of local partners. The project helped to strengthen and consolidate Guatemala’s
Mangrove Forest Regulations, which now include agreed guidelines for the prioritization of mangrove forests,
and the management, restoration and conservation mechanisms to be implemented through the effective
participation of local and government stakeholders. Through improvement of mangrove forest management andrestoration, the project created new economic opportunities and improved food security for the local
communities, while contributing to the conservation of mangrove ecosystems.
Progress:
The Project Agreement regulating the implementation of the project was signed in March 2013. The Project
Inception Report and the YPO were received and approved by the ITTO Secretariat and the first disbursementof funds was transferred to the Executing Agency in August 2013; project activities commenced shortly after
that. The second instalment was disbursed in February 2014, the third instalment in October 2014 and thefourth (final) instalment in July 2015. All disbursements were based on the prior submission and approval of thecorresponding required 6-monthly progress report, annual audits and updated OLMS reporting. The project was
not impacted by ITTO’s financial impairment since all funds were disbursed prior to that problem. However there
have been several delays in completing the project due to changes in Guatemala’s forest administration andgovernance. The project was granted an extension until the end of December 2019 in order to allow for the
successful completion of all activities, particularly as regards the adoption of the draft mangrove forest
regulation developed by the project.
The project has now completed all technical activities as follows:
Output 1: Mangrove Ecosystem Management and Conservation Program for the local communities with a focus
on climate change adaptation.
•

4 pilot areas involving 13 communities were selected for the development and implementation of community
forest management plans centering on mangrove forest conservation and management, these being:
Blanca Cecilia, Manchon Guamuchal, Cayo Quemado and Mangales. All four sites now have operational
management plans focusing on mangrove forest rehabilitation, conservation, protection and production;

ITTC(LVI)/8
Page 8•••The training modules on mangrove management and all related materials have been developed;
Training workshops to raise awareness of the local communities on the use and conservation of mangrove
areas have been completed; andOther events continue were carried out at the community level aimed at highlighting the significance ofpractices focused on improving local capacities for climate change adaptation.

Output 2: Conservation and management strategy for Guatemala's mangrove ecosystem with the effective
participation of key stakeholders.
•••

A methodology was designed with the effective participation of both local and national stakeholder groups
for the establishment of a National Strategy for Mangrove Ecosystem Conservation, Management andRestoration, and the strategy itself has been developed;
9, rather than the original 3, local roundtables have been established with the participation of key local
stakeholders to develop local actions focused on mangrove conservation, management and restoration
within the framework of the national strategy and also to review the draft mangrove forest regulation; andThe new mangrove forest regulation has been approved.

Achievements, impacts and lessons learned:
The project contributed to the following REDDES specific objectives:
Strengthen the capacity of ITTO developing member countries and their stakeholders to:a) reduce unplanned deforestation1;b) reduce forest degradation;c) maintain and enhance climate change mitigation and other environmental services of tropical forests;d) contribute to the social and economic sustainability and well-being of forest-dependent communities by
increasing forest values through forest restoration and rehabilitation, as well as payments for forestbased environmental services;
The following achievements can be mentioned:• 4 pilot areas over an area of 532.27 ha with operational community forest management plans centering on
mangrove conservation and management, these being: Blanca Cecilia (22.50 ha), Manchon Guamuchal(486.77 ha), Cayo Quemado (2.00 ha) and Mangales (21.00);• Training modules and materials for the conservation and sustainable use of mangroves have beendeveloped and disseminated among the stakeholder communities, and are readily available for further
dissemination elsewhere;• A National Strategy for Mangrove Ecosystem Conservation, Management and Restoration has beendeveloped in a participatory manner and has been approved by the competent government authorities(INAB and CONAP); and• 9 local roundtables established with the participation of key local stakeholders are currently active in thedevelopment of local actions focused on mangrove conservation, management and restoration within theframework of the draft national strategy.
The Project has also to date produced several outputs and products, among them several technical documents
describing the achievements, impacts and lessons learnt of the project. All project reports/outputs are available
in Spanish through the project search function of the ITTO website (www.itto.int/project_search/). There weresignificant delays in having the National Strategy developed by the project translated into a new government
regulation as originally anticipated; political developments in the country led to lengthy delays in the formulation
and approval of the relevant regulation. The Executing Agency therefore requested (and ITTO approved) abudget neutral extension of the project to the end of 2019 to allow successful completion of this aspect of the
project. Following approval of the extension, the new government regulation was approved and adopted in late
2018. A monitoring visit to Guatemala was undertaken by the Secretariat immediately after the 55th Council
session in December 2019 to review project outputs and assist with finalization of project reporting
requirements. The EA subsequently submitted the project completion report and final audit (which wasapproved by the Secretariat) in early 2020, both of which are available on request (Spanish only).
