Duration: 2020-2023

Summary:

The overall objective of the EU-funded programme “Regional-ASEAN Forest Governance Support Programme (FLEGT Asia)” is to enhance the sustainable production and responsible trade of timber and timber products within and from the ASEAN region.

ASEAN has formulated a Strategic Plan of Action for ASEAN Co-operation on Forestry (2016-2025), adopted in 2016 (ASEAN-AMAF 38th Meeting, 2016). Based on this Strategic Plan of Action, ASEAN has developed a specific FLEG Work Plan (2016–2025). This Work Plan constitutes the basis for deepening co-operation and implementing joint actions among ASEAN Member States, addressing illegal logging and deforestation through an approach in line with the EU Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) Action Plan.
