The EfD initiative has the advantage of being both multi-country and long-term. In order to achieve higher quality research and more policy impact we are encouraging more collaboration between the centers on selected themes where there is a real policy demand. During April the EfD has arranged two workshops to this effect. Back-to-back with the World Bank conference on Land and Poverty, EfD organized a workshop on impact evaluation of forest tenure reforms with presentations from four of the six EfD centers along with other experts. This is a step towards a comprehensive, long-term impact evaluation program of forest reforms. Similarly, the second workshop on park pricing was held in Zimbabwe with researchers and park agencies participating from Botswana, Kenya, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The demand for economic analysis to support sustainable management of national parks is great and this will be an important theme for EfD in the coming year. Below you will find links to the presentations at these workshops along with the usual batch of peer reviewed papers, news, events etc. Gunnar Köhlin, Director Environment for Development initiative Climate change
