7. Training is lost if it is not part of a broader capacity
building / empowerment effort that allows participants to use acquired skills. There is often a gap between an existing
situation and future planned status – people who are trained do not use the techniques and contents of training not only
because they may not yet possess the skills, but also due to other institutional and systemic constraints.
8. In order for training to be effective, a need has to be identified, stakeholders need to be organized prior to training,
and a multi-stakeholder framework or governance structure may need to be set up to organize the training, and ensure
that participants actually use the skills and knowledge they acquire. In governments, it is essential to involve all relevant
ministries and agencies, not only in forestry, but also environment, education, foreign affairs, planning, and finance/
budgeting, etc.. Focal Points of the CBD, as well as the UNFCCC, UNCCD and UNFF, and other forest-related experts and
agencies can play an important role in linking local issues with global agreements. At times, it may be important to
institutionalize these multi-stakeholder and inter-institutional boards, so that initiatives can survive beyond short political
mandates and/or circumstances. Local ownership of the training process and of its content development, as well as the
explicit support of top management, are critical for training programmes to leave lasting results.
