With the aim of better informing policy discussions about community forestry in Honduras, such as those that will be held in the context of the proposed Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA), this Information Brief explores the links between community forestry and local forest governance in the country. It provides evidence that community-based forest enterprises can contribute significantly to forest governance goals, and it argues that more attention needs to be given to reforms that promote and strengthen community forestry approaches.
