Forests Sourcebook PRACTICAL GUIDANCE FOR SUSTAINING FORESTS IN DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION
AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT
In 2002, the World Bank revised its Forests Strategy
and related Operational Policies to give recognition to the role forests play in poverty reduction
and the preservation of global environmental services. The revision also served to ramp up the
World Bank’s own engagement in the forest sector to reduce poverty without jeopardizing the
environmental values intrinsic to sustainability. The strategy is founded on three equally important
and interrelated pillars:
harnessing the potential of forests to reduce poverty in a sustainable manner;
integrating forests more effectively into sustainable development; and
protecting vital local and global environmental services and values.
Addressing these three pillars together makes the Forests Strategy complex and multifaceted. The
Strategy is not just about growing or protecting trees, but involves a web of complex interactions
between policy, institutions, and incentives. The Forests Strategy embodies a multisector approach
that takes into account activities, policies, and practices outside the forest sector that impact both
forests and the people who depend on forests for their livelihoods.
The Forests Sourcebook is a resource for World Bank clients, task managers, and other stakeholders to
better design and implement projects in line with the Forests Strategy. It draws on the experiences
of more than seventy experts, both within and outside the World Bank, who have applied innova-
tive approaches to implementing the World Bank Forests Strategy.
The Sourcebook is divided into two parts. The first part looks at issues that are priorities for the
forest sector and addresses the operational aspects of those issues. It covers topics associated with
using forests in ways that contribute to poverty reduction, improving forest governance, main-
streaming forest considerations in macro policy dialogue, engaging the private sector, meeting the
growing demand for wood, optimizing forest functions at the landscape level, and monitoring
forest sector activities. The second part of the book offers guidance on implementing the World Forests
Bank’s Operational Policy on Forests (OP 4.36).
Giving insight into the complex interplay between different realms of development work that effect
or are affected by forests, the Forests Sourcebook is a valuable tool for any stakeholder involved in Sourcebook
development or business projects that could have an impact on forests.

SOURCEBOOKAGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT
Seventy- five percent of the world’s poor live in rural areas and most are involved in farming. In the 21st century,
agriculture remains fundamental to economic growth, poverty alleviation, and environmental sustainability.
The World Bank’s Agriculture and Rural Development publication series presents recent analyses of issues that
affect agriculture’s role as a source of economic development, rural livelihoods, and environmental services. The
series is intended for practical application, and we hope that it will serve to inform public discussion, policy
formulation, and development planning.
