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 publication describes the experience of a number of transition countries in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union with crafting regulatory frameworks for irrigation water users’ organizations. It also seeks to distil a number of key regulatory requirements. As a result, this study serves as a design/drafting manual for policymakers and for drafters of legislation on water users’ organizations.

Les forêts du monde fournissent des avantages économiques, sociaux et environnementaux d’une importance cruciale. Elles génèrent des moyens de subsistance pour les populations, fournissent des produits ligneux et non ligneux, procurent de l’eau potable et abritent la moitié des espèces animales et végétales de la planète. Pourtant, 13 millions d’hectares de forêts sont convertis chaque année pour d’autres usages, produisant près de 17 pour cent des émissions annuelles de gaz à effet de serre d’origine humaine.

Foreign acquisitions of farmland in Africa and elsewhere have become the focus of concern. Many observers consider them a new form of colonialism that threatens food security of the poor. However, investments could be good news if the objectives of land purchasers are reconciled with the investment needs of developing countries.
