The Forest Governance Index
The Forest Governance Index (FGI) is a key tool for assessing and monitoring the governance areas relevant to the management, protection, and conservation of forests, such as stakeholder participation, legislative and institutional clarity, accountability and oversight, transparency, and compliance, promotion and enforcement, based on evidence rather than perceptions.
In applying the FGI, EFI has engaged national experts and stakeholders in their evaluation of forest governance at the national level. This collaborative process can help stakeholders to track the evolution of governance over time and see the influence of policy processes on these key areas.
