This course is based on two PROFOR–FAO publications on forest governance. One offers a framework for assessing forest governance and the other describes good assessment practices. In five modules, the course will cover:

What is forest governance?
How do you write an overall plan for a governance assessment?
How do you write a specific plan for data collection?
How do you collect and analyze data?
How do you achieve impact with your results and prepare for future work?
