When locally controlled forest enterprises implement those interventions, many benefits for inclusion arise. Local control helps them, for example, secure land and resource tenure, form larger coalitions and achieve economies of scale and the power of collective bargaining more easily, invest in programmes that strengthen business know-how, and revitalize technical extension services and deliver local and global public goods. The Forest Governance Learning Group (FGLG) initiative is an informal alliance of 10 in-country groups of partners, including 7 from Africa (Cameroon, Ghana, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda). The FGLG thematic areas focus on strengthening forest rights, supporting small forest enterprises, encouraging trade in legal forest products, and advocating for pro-poor climate change mitigation and adaptation through forestry.
