World Bank Group Forest Strategy “ Sustaining Forests – a Development Strategy” was approved by the WB Board in 2002 after extensive consultations with internal and external stakeholders. The WBG Forestry Strategy remains valid and the proposed Forest Action Plan aims at operationalizing the strategy. Action Plans are not subject to “Consultations” (as per Consultation Guidelines, October 2013).  The purpose of this dialogue is to engage with external stakeholders on the proposed features of the FAP and seek their feedback to guide the finalization of the FAP document.
