PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is struggling with challenges in controlling trade in forest products. While policy instruments exist, they are not consistently implemented and do not fully meet international market requirements. Limited cooperation among ASEAN member states hampers efforts to harmonize policies and improve cross-border cooperation. Furthermore, cross-border control authorities often lack appropriate digital systems, which hampers their ability to effectively combat illegal timber trade. Addressing these challenges is critical to improving forest management in the region.
Border control authorities in ASEAN have improved operational processes and introduced digital tools to strengthen transparency and ensure compliance with legal regulations in the timber trade.
The project focuses on the following measures to combat forest crime and improve compliance with legal regulations in the timber trade in ASEAN:
• Create a regional coordination format to improve information sharing among ASEAN member states on timber trade in accordance with international ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) standards and designate a focal point to monitor coordination.
• Conduct six events to promote knowledge sharing among ASEAN member states on transparency and law enforcement related to compliant timber trade.
• Formalize two measures to improve cross-border control of timber products and introduce two digital tools for the dete
