Description:	In using the chapters and notes in the Forests Source book, the reader should keep in mind that the basic country context and conditions must be taken into account and that close coordination with government and other key stakeholders is essential before any approach is implemented. The Forests Sourcebook is divided into two parts. The first contains an introduction to the book plus seven chapters covering topics associated with enhancing the contribution of forests to poverty reduction, engaging the private sector, meeting the growing demand for forest products, optimizing forest functions at the landscape level, improving forest governance, mainstreaming forest considerations into macro - policy dialogue, and monitoring forest sector activities. Each chapter provides relevant background and context with a general overview of the fundamental issues, constraints, policies, and institutional requirements that need to be considered for specific topics. Each also provides the rationale for engagement and a brief discussion of past World Bank activities in the particular area. Most important, chapters specify future priorities and areas for scaling up activities. Each chapter also provides a list of key readings or sources of information. Often the topics presented in a chapter are closely related to issues presented in other chapters and notes. Cross-references are provided
