| Summary: | In all three countries of the South
Caucasus region - Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia forests
are a key natural resource and source of wealth for the
nation and the global community. Different resource
endowments have created variation in wood utilization
patterns across the countries. While fuelwood production
remains by far the most common type of forest use in all
three countries, production forestry and wood processing
differ. This study aimed to generate regional knowledge on
the private sector’s role in the forest sector and to
enhance opportunities for public-private collaboration to
improve forest-based job creation and economic development.
In the medium to long-term, this knowledge is expected to
inform the countries, the World Bank, and other development
partners when they develop interventions and policies that
help to exploit forest resources sustainably for national
development. The report focuses on wood production,
harvesting, and processing but not on other forest-based
direct and indirect economic activities such as tourism. |
