Focal point
Location
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations leads international efforts to defeat hunger. Serving both developed and developing countries, FAO acts as a neutral forum where all nations meet as equals to negotiate agreements and debate policy. FAO is also a source of knowledge and information. We help developing countries and countries in transition modernize and improve agriculture, forestry and fisheries practices and ensure good nutrition for all. Since our founding in 1945, we have focused special attention on developing rural areas, home to 70 percent of the world's poor and hungry people.

This reports examines the opportunities for new sources of funding to support the Ministry of Water and Forests in Morocco. The report examines the current flows of funds between the forestry sector, local communities and the ministry and shows how the ministry does not receive sufficient revenue to implement its forestry policies and programmes. It also demonstrates how some of the fiscal policies currently in place do little to support sustainable forest management.
