EFI Policy Portal

Information Portal on Forest Policies, Institutions and Instruments
Home - About - Portal map

We welcome contributions and critical comments from interested users. Should you want to cooperate, please contact the EFICENT-OEF team.

The EFI Policy Portal is dedicated to collect and display already existing information sources about forest and cross-sectoral policy processes, instruments and institutions that have shaped and influenced the development of the pan-European forest sector. The main objective is to ensure easy access to structured and up-to-date forest policy information useful for forest policy research and advice. By providing a comprehensive overview of relevant information sources, the policy portal maps the complexity and dynamics of the pan-European forest policy arena. It provides also linkages between FOREST EUROPE Criteria and Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management and ToSIA indicators in relation to a particular forest policy process, instrument and institution.


Policy Processes

Policy processes are the chains of activities, initiatives and events, from the very beginning of raising an issue on the political agenda, to argumentation, possible confrontation, political struggle, coalition, negotiation, compromise, solution and finally to implementation.


Policy Instruments

Policy instrument is a category that comprises regulatory, economic and informational policy tools.


Institutions

Forest institutions are used conversely with "organization" - a social arrangement which pursues collective goals, which controls its own performance, and which has a boundary separating it from its environment.
