(MENA) because of its low forest cover. In Morocco, a<br />

nation with relatively extensive forests, the World Bank is<br />

involved in preparing an Integrated Forest Development<br />

Project. In the Islamic Republic of Iran, a land and water<br />

management project has a community-based forest management<br />

component.<br />

In the East Asia and the Pacific region (EAP), the World<br />

Bank’s lending has focused on plantation development in<br />

countries, such as China, that are major consumers of forest<br />

raw materials. 6 Additional focus has been on policy dialogue<br />

for development of certification schemes. Also, successful<br />

projects in Vietnam and the Lao People’s Democratic<br />

Republic are working to address governance and policy<br />

reforms.<br />

In the South Asia region (SAR), India accounts for the bulk<br />

of lending. Lending commitments have been declining since<br />

2003 as one generation of projects has ended (figure 5). Since<br />

then, lending awaits the results of an Analytical and Advisory<br />

Services (AAA) initiative designed to guide future lending and<br />

to reengage dialogue with the government about policy. 7<br />

In the Latin America and the Caribbean region (LAC),<br />

projects have concentrated on community forestry, reforestation,<br />

forest land restoration, forest certification, forest<br />

concessions, policy, and legal reforms. 8 Additional projects<br />
