CURRENT GUIDANCE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF LEGALITY DEFINITIONS IN FLEGT VOLUNTARY PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENTS

This brief aims to guide countries in the development of their Legality Definition as part of a Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA) process. It is not meant to be prescriptive, but rather describe useful practice based on the experiences and lessons learned from other countries engaged in FLEGT VPA Legality Definition development.

Its aim is to help VPA stakeholders better understand the Legality Definition development process and to share lessons, processes, tools and structures from country experiences that have contributed to completion of a successful Legality Definition.
