CHAPTER 11 Forest Certification Assessment Guide: Summary on Use Paralleling the growing demand for wood products is the growing demand for the verification of the sustainability of the forest management from which those products are derived. With the introduction of the World Bank’s Operational Policy on Forests in 2002 (OP 4.36), the World Bank made its support for commercial harvesting contingent on certification of operations under an acceptable system, with the exception of small-scale landholders and operations under community forest management and joint forest management. Alternatively, support can be provided under the condition of adherence to a timebound action plan to pursue certification under an acceptable system within a certain time frame. Consequently, assessment of certification systems against World Bank requirements is a necessary step in the project appraisal process for this kind of investment. Assessment of certification systems for compliance with these Bank provisions requires an in-depth analysis of the standards and applied procedures. In this chapter the available instruments for the assessment of certification systems and the lessons learned so far are described, and the application of time-bound action plans for certification are given consideration. A description of the elements that should be included in the terms of reference (TOR) for the assessment of systems and in the design and evaluation of time-bound action plans are provided in the annexes. This chapter is relevant for other notes in this sourcebook on the identification of high conservation value forests (note 3.1, Mainstreaming Conservation Considerations into Productive Landscapes), which, in some certification systems, forms part of forest certification assessments; and that on plantations (note 3.3, Forest Plantations), as forest certification continues to expand its work to include this sector. THE WORLD BANK–WORLD WILDLIFE FUND (WWF) FOREST CERTIFICATION ASSESSMENT GUIDE (FCAG): PURPOSE AND CONCEPT Through an intensive process involving experts in this field and external stakeholders, and in close collaboration with the WWF, the World Bank developed an assessment framework for certification systems that includes elements deemed essential for reliable and independent certification of forest management. It allows for the evaluation of a system’s compliance with the World Bank’s principles, and can contribute to decisions about whether the system is acceptable in the context of Bank investments. This section will examine the purpose of this initiative. Additional information on the background and the reasoning behind specific criteria may be obtained from the original document (World Bank–WWF Alliance 2006). The World Bank–WWF guide for the assessment of forest certification systems was originally conceived to evaluate progress toward achieving the World Bank–WWF Alliance goal of having 200 million hectares of forests independently certified under an acceptable system by 2005. In addition to this, other useful functions of the guide include 335
