increase communication’s contribution to research
influence?

forestry sector
15
CIFOR influence throught direct strategy
The domestic market of timber

 Great capacities
concerning incomes (50%
of total timber
production)
 Large network of
corruption
Communication
(direct strategy)
 Discussions with the
MINFOF based on the first
set of data
 In collaboration with
MINFOF officers:
– Large diffusion of a
broader report

 Illegal contractual

 Violation of

Communication

 Diffusion throught

 Distribution to other

18
Limits due to the poor governance of the forestry
sector
Indicators of poor governance
 The double discourse of decision makers
To be In / to gain finances from donors / to keep
a hidden agenda / to protect subjective interest.
 The poor structure of forestry research
Increasing lost of interest about forestry
research / difficult access to information. 19
Limits due to the poor governance of the forestry
sector
How it affects Research Communication
 Informal nature of relations between actors.
Researcher mainly communicate with decision
makers by informal ways.
 Informal character of access to forestry
information.
To know what is going on in the sector you must
personally know peoples. 20
Discussion and Recommendations
 Informal communication or Research
objectivity?
 Influence by all means or contribution to an
evidence based decision making process?
 Work on communication but not only
― Security of formal relations
― Importance of institutionnal capacities
― Results of a good structure of forestry research
