<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:black">The restructuring the forestry institution in Azerbaijan is now on political agenda. One of the key step of the restructuring the forestry institution is to review
and update the draft National Forestry Program (NFP) (including policy objectives, forestry program content, and the action plan for 2015-2020) which was prepared with the support of FAO in 2013 and submitted to approval of the Azerbaijan Government. The
approval of the NFP was delayed for several reasons and some component of the NFP have implemented and achieved or outdated. Accordingly, it was decided to revise the NFP and submit it to the approval of the Azerbaijan Government.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#555555"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:black">The Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Azerbaijan with the support of the UNECE/FAO Forestry and Timber Section and FAO Partnership and Liaison Office in
Azerbaijan organized a National Forest Policy Dialogue on 11-12 of July 2018 in Baku city, Azerbaijan to review the draft National Forest Program (NFP) and provide proposals for updating NFP, specifically: (i) national forest policy objectives, (ii) the NFP
content, and (iii) NFP Action Plan for 2015-2020. The workshop also discussed possible options for restructuring national forestry institutions.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#555555"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:black">It was concluded that “Major challenges and development needs national for Azerbaijan forests and forestry” and the “Forest policy statement” items of the National
Forestry Program (NFP) are still valid, there is no need for substantial revision but to update background information and link the program with latest development at national and international policy process, such as Agenda 2030, UN Strategic Plan on Forests
(UNSPF), Strategic Roadmap on National Economy 2030. Action Plan (2015 – 2020) of the NFP should be revised substantially to simplify it, further priorities activities, align it with national strategic documents, and possible include estimated budget and budget
sources for each action item.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#555555"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:black">Regarding the restructuring the forestry institutions in Azerbaijan, workshop participants were informed about on-going reform process at both Headquarters and field
levels. One of the key recommendation of the workshop is to convert the forestry department to “Forestry Agency with a Public Legal Entity and with a revolving fund with or without additional funding from general budget”. The workshop concluded that it is
necessary to see the results of the first forest inventory results and decide if there is a need for an additional reform in the forestry department and if Forestry Agency proposal is valid in terms of financial sustainability.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#555555"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:black">In order to revise the NFP and discuss institutional restructuring needs, two workshops (consultation and verification workshops) will be organised with the broad participation
of national stakeholders and with the support of FAO Technical Officer and international consultant.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#555555"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
