Progress Report: Moving Towards VPA Implementation 2011-12
This report is the product of collaboration between the government of Liberia and the EU with the objective to provide the requisite information to concerned stakeholders to set the ground for the implementation of actions toward ensuring the production of legal wood products and subsequent sustainable management of the remaining forest of Liberia.
We have made significant progress through Liberia’s National Forestry Reform Law 2006 and the Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA). Our efforts and the EU Timber Regulation are creating incentives for timber suppliers and buyers to remove timber of unverified legality from the supply chains.
