2. Agroforestry Policy Initiative
Dr Olu Ajayi will soon start full
time on the agroforestry policy
initiative with guidance from
Frank Place.
Administratively GRP6 will
facilitate this, with connections
to all other GRP’s and all
regions
A number of the regions will
report exciting new initiatives

6. Tree cover transition
The schematic forest
(or tree cover) transi‐
tion can have a wide‐
ning phase, when
loss of natural forest
exceeds tree planting
and a contracting
phase when the
reverse is true.
Widening: area planted < area cleared
? Contracting: area planted > cleared
7. In the 1990’s loss of
natural cover increased
the amount of ‘low C‐
stock’ & low economic
value land; tree (crop)
planting was 28% of the
loss of natural forest
area
After 2000 planting of
tree (crop)s equals 90%
of concurrent loss of
natural forest; the
amount of low C‐stock
& low economic value
land decreases
8. In the CRP world, we will find
our home in CRP6.3 (and
CRP2)
14. Social Science CCER response
GRP6 is home to much of current
ICRAF social science, with focus
on
•‘Rights & resource access’/ tenure
•Multiple knowledge systems &
K2A
•Fairness vs Efficiency at multiple
scales
15. GRP6 in relation to Science Q
•GRP6/SEA + EA is well
repre-sented in ICRAF’s
track record of publications
and multi-me-dia
approaches to communi-
cation to varied audiences
•Several new PhD’s

17. GRP Funding pipeline
• Both RUPES and PRESA are reaching end,
discussions with SEA and EA ongoing for
follow-up negotiations with IFAD
• EU policy funding ended; revival
possible?
• Large Sulawesi project (9 M CAD) just
approved
• Finland/Waf still pending
• Effective link with ASB/REALU as key to
18. Specific issues for BOT
discussion
• The sentinel landscape approach is
close to our GRP6 heart and
essential for regional involvement,
but progress has been slower than
we hoped (to be updated after
Naivasha CRP6.1 & 6.3 meeting)
