FLEGT Asia
Background
The European Commission (EC) published a Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and
Trade (FLEGT) Action Plan in 2003. FLEGT aims not simply to reduce illegal deforestation, but in promoting good forest governance, aims to contribute to poverty eradication
and sustainable management of natural resources.
The European Forest Institute (EFI), an international research organisation with its
headquarters in Finland, conducts, advocates and facilitates forest research networking
at the pan-European level. Under its Policy & Governance programme, the EFI assists
in the EU’s implementation of the FLEGT Action Plan. In 2007, the EU FLEGT Facility
was established, hosted and managed by the EFI. The Facility supports the bilateral
process between the EU and tropical producing countries towards signing and implementing “Voluntary Partnership Agreements” (VPAs) under the FLEGT Action Plan.
In November 2008, the EFI signed a contribution agreement with the EC on a “Regional
Support Programme for the EU FLEGT Action Plan in Asia”. The FLEGT Asia programme is part of EU FLEGT Facility and is executed by the Facility. A FLEGT Asia Regional Office (FLEGT Asia) of the EFI’s EU FLEGT Facility was formally established in
October 2009. FLEGT Asia seeks to collaborate and build synergies with existing regional initiatives and partners in Asia.
The EU FLEGT Facility is managed and implemented by the EFI in close collaboration
with the EU.
Goal of FLEGT Asia
The goal of the FLEGT Asia Regional Programme is the promotion of good forest governance, contributing to poverty eradication and sustainable management of natural resources in Asia, through direct support of the implementation of the EU’s FLEGT Action
Plan.
Strategy
The strategy to achieve this goal focuses on promoting and facilitating international
trade in verified legal timber – both within Asia and exported from Asia to other consumer markets. In particular, it aims to enhance understanding of emerging demands in
key timber-consuming markets and promote use of systems that assist buyers and sellers of Asian timber and timber products to meet these demands.
Work Programme
The work programme to achieve the Programme’s goal has three phases:

1. Information Collection
Baseline information (trade statistics, product flows, future scenarios, stakeholder identification and engagement strategies), applied to countries in the region. Information on producers, processors, consumers, and to major consumers
of exports from this region will be collected and collated. It will then be used to
develop training and communication materials; to further define the nature of the
capacity building to be undertaken (who are the target beneficiaries and what the
training needs are) and form the baseline for monitoring the progress of the programme over the 3 years duration of the programme.
2. Capacity Building
The second phase is the strengthening of key institutions (companies, trade associations, NGOs, government agencies, customs etc.) for improved forest governance in each country and across the region to meet the identified market
needs. This will consist of training (at individual level, training of trainers, workshops, pilot studies e.g. on individual supply chains and for Timber Legality Assurance); information dissemination and communications (roadshows, seminars,
communication materials, website etc).
3. Customs & Regional Collaboration
The work to support trade regionally, and to invest in customs capacity in accordance with market requirements will be undertaken in collaboration with other
programmes in the region.
FLEGT Asia financed this report and the Terms of Reference for this study is as in Annex 1.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The “Mapping of Forest and Forest-related Stakeholder Consultations in Malaysia” provided an inventory of relevant stakeholder forest and forest-related consultations covering the period 1 January 2000 to 31 July 2011. It was a simple and straightforward
documentation of the various stakeholder consultations held in Malaysia. It did not involve any subjective assessments that could be varied across the different stakeholder
landscape.
The main objective of the Mapping of Forest and Forest-related Stakeholder Consultations in Malaysia was to prepare a descriptive half-page to one page write-up for each
consultation, including detail on six predetermined categories, namely, Forest and Land
Use Management, Biological Diversity Conservation, Environmental Management, Timber Certification, Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT), and Social
Forestry and Empowerment of Communities. It should serve as a starting point for improved coordination of different consultations in different context and draw lessons
learned from the consultations held so as to improve on the stakeholder consultation
processes, for better access to information and shared understanding.
A total of 107 organizations was contacted where the MNRE had assisted in contacting
98 organizations of which 42 were from Peninsular Malaysia, 27 from Sabah and the
balance of 29 from Sarawak. Of the organizations contacted by MNRE, 26 of the organizations were from relevant government ministries, departments and agencies, 14
organizations having an economic interest in the forestry sector, and 15 and 43 NGOs
having an interest in the environmental and social aspects of forest and forest-related
matters respectively. The balance of the nine organizations was contacted by the study
team with seven of the organizations representing the social interest groups, and one
each representing the environmental and economic interest groups respectively.
Of the 107 organizations contacted, a total of 64 organizations or 59.8% responded with
the highest number recorded in Peninsular Malaysia where 33 out of the 49 organization
contacted or 67.3% responded. The lowest number of organizations recorded was in
Sabah where only 14 out of the 28 organizations contacted or 50.0% responded. In
terms of interest groups, 16 of them were from the relevant government ministries, department and agencies; nine from the environment interest groups, 32 from the social
interest groups and seven from the economic interest groups.
From the organizations that responded, 204 individual reports of consultation were received of which 28 or 13.7% could be classified under the category Forest and Land
Use Management; 4 or 1.9% under the category Biological Diversity Conservation; 15 or
7.4% under the category Environmental Management; 39 or 19.1% under the categories
Timber Certification; and 15 or 7.4% and 103 or 50.5% under the categories Forest Law
Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) and Social Forestry and Empowerment
of Communities respectively.
Although the overall response rate seemed low, it should be noted that a number of organizations contacted were of the view that the survey was not relevant to them, declined to participate, or could not provide the necessary data requested. In general,
government departments and agencies kept better records than the NGOs. This was
made more difficult as the Mapping of Forest and Forest-related Stakeholder Consulta9
www.euflegt.efi.int
tions in Malaysia requested information on consultations conducted as far back as the
year 2000.
The 28 stakeholder consultations that were conducted under the category Forest and
Land Use Management were held at the international, regional, national and state levels. At the international level, the consultations involved countries in Southeast Asia,
especially the ASEAN Member States, while the two consultations held at the regional
level covered the states in Peninsular Malaysia. The state level consultations were held
in Pahang, Johore, Perak, Terengganu, Sabah and Sarawak.
These consultations covered peatland management, rehabilitation and sustainable use;
mangrove rehabilitation; challenges and opportunities in financing sustainable forestry
and the timber trade; the Integrated Land Use Blueprint and the Shoreline Management
Plan for Iskandar Malaysia, the outlook study of the Malaysian Forestry Sector in the
Year 2020; the development of a HCVF Toolkit for Malaysia; the preparation of forest
management plans for SFM; and the application of GIS for enhancing forest management and planning.
The four stakeholder consultations under the category Biological Diversity Conservation
were conducted with one consultation at the international level and the remaining three
consultations at the state level in Kedah and Sarawak. They covered the establishment
of the Kilim National Park, Kedah; a review on the status and trends of Malaysia’s biodiversity, including solutions to prevent and/or halt its loss and degradation; an assessment on the implementation of the Loagan Bunut National Park Integrated Management
Plan; and the current status on access to and benefit sharing from the use of Sarawak’s
biological resources in relation to the ordinance and laws in Sarawak.
The 15 stakeholder consultations under the category Environmental Management were
conducted at the international, national, state and district levels. Two of these consultations were conducted at the international level with five at the national level. Of the remaining eight consultations, seven were conducted at the state level in Johore, Selangor and Sabah, with one at the district level in the Beaufort District, Sabah.
The areas covered by these consultations included the application of environmental
management tools in managing natural resources, and rules and guidelines related to
the preparation of EIA reports in Sabah; Malaysia’s climate change related projections
and studies; the Environmental Planning Blueprint in Iskandar Malaysia; impacts of
peatland fires, including the development of the ASEAN Peatland Fire Prediction and
Warning System; and policy and institutional challenges in implementing development
that is ecologically sustainable.
The 39 stakeholder consultations that were conducted under the category Timber Certification were held at the regional, national, state and local levels. In this regard, most of
the consultations were held at the regional and national levels. Only two consultations
were conducted at the local level among the local communities in Tatau and Miri in Sarawak.
Under this category, the areas covered by the 39 consultations included the development of the MC&I(2002) and the MC&I(Forest Plantations), including awareness raising
among forest officers of the Forestry Departments in Malaysia, and a review of the
MC&I(2002); the introduction of sustainable forest management and certification to the
10
www.euflegt.efi.int
local community in the Anap-Muput FMU, especially its social aspects; and the role and
values of FSC certification in Malaysia, including nomination of representatives to the
social chamber of the National Standards Development Group.
A total of 15 stakeholder consultations were conducted under the category Forest Law
Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT). Most of the consultations covered the
development in the FLEGT VPA negotiations, including the Malaysian TLAS, market
access and impact for FLEGT-licensed timber, and the role of the Independent Market
Monitor for the TLAS; the capacity building measures required to implement the Malaysian TLAS in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak; the future direction of the Malaysian timber industry, and the potential of developing a code of conduct for the industry; the identification of priority actions and recommendations to implement the listing of
ramin in CITES; and an understanding of the ramin trade enforcement mechanism under CITES and the Malaysian International Trade in Endangered Species Act 2008 (Act
686).
These 15 consultations were held at the national level, except for the consultation on the
identification of project proposals for implementation in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and
Sarawak which was conducted at the regional and state levels. These project proposals
were part of the capacity building measures required to implement the Malaysian TLAS.
There were 103 stakeholder consultations conducted under the category Social Forestry
and Empowerment of Community. These consultations were held at the international,
regional, national, state, district, and local levels. In this regard, three consultations were
held at the international level, three at the regional level for the states in Peninsular Malaysia; 13 at the national level, nine at the state level in Perak, Negeri Sembilan and Sarawak, while six consultations at the district level in Johore, Sabah and Sarawak. The
remaining 69 consultations or 67.0% of the total received under this category were held
at the local level, mainly in Peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak, and to a lesser extent in
Sabah.
These 103 consultations covered matters related to the concept of PIC as advocated in
the CBD and FPIC as contained in Article 32 of UNDRIP; the use of TK; the planting of
coastal areas and mangroves by local communities and school children; raising the
awareness of the importance of forests and strengthening the cooperation between the
State Forestry Departments with the indigenous peoples living in and around the vicinity
of forested areas; and encouraging positive practices in managing natural resources.
They also included the development of a dispute resolution mechanism for sustainable
forest management; practical ideas for managing claims and disputes related to forest,
land and indigenous peoples’ rights; the involvement of local communities in sustainable
forest management and community forest management; and the potential impact of tree
plantations on native customary land rights. A number of the consultations also involved
efforts to strengthen the knowledge and understanding among indigenous peoples of
their customary rights to lands and forest resources within the context of national and
international laws; and in the sharing of information and exchange of experiences in
managing TK issues, and claims and disputes related to forest.
For the multi-stakeholder process (MSP) to be meaningful and successful, there needs
to be an effort for capacity building of weaker parties, so that they can come to the table
equipped with better knowledge on the issues to be addressed. Financial assistance
should be provided to enable the smaller NGOs to participate. In addition, the process
11
www.euflegt.efi.int
itself should be fully transparent and participatory that accommodates the different views
and positions of the various stakeholders in a balanced manner through a spirit of compromise, and provide for all stakeholders to deliberate and arrive at decisions that are
acceptable to all parties. For the process to be more effective there is also a need to
build stronger understanding and trust between the parties involved.
The issues to be deliberated in the MSP should be attractive and current or which would
likely to have an impact on the livelihood and wellbeing of peoples and the environment.
It is pertinent that state agencies should go beyond acknowledging receipt of documents
and/or proposals following consultations, and should inform all the involved parties the
outcome of the submissions forwarded to them.
More specifically, from the many records of the consultations with the grassroots, particularly with indigenous communities, many of the efforts are still very much at the level
of awareness and knowledge creation and training. There is a clear need for further
strengthening and training not only of leaders, but the members of the community.
Notwithstanding this, consultation among interested parties is actively promoted by
many organizations as a good governance mechanism in the field of natural resources
management. This collaborative approach is also in line with the Malaysian government’s vision of encouraging smart partnerships between government and nongovernment agencies.

INTRODUCTION
The FLEGT Asia Regional Office (FLEGT Asia) of the EFI’s EU FLEGT Facility was
formally established in October 2009. FLEGT Asia seeks to collaborate and build synergies with existing regional initiatives and partners in Asia. In early 2011 FLEGT Asia had
proposed to the Malaysian authorities that a simple inventory of relevant stakeholder
forest and forest-related consultations covering a period from 1 January 2000 to 31 July
2011 for the whole of Malaysia, namely, Peninsular Malaysia and the States of Sabah
and Sarawak, with accompanying notes should be made available.
On 15 June 2011, a Meeting on Mapping of Stakeholder Consultation Processes in Malaysia co-organized by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, Malaysia
(MNRE) and the EU EFI FLEGT Asia Regional Support Programme was held in Kuala
Lumpur where a total of 36 participants representing relevant government ministries,
departments and agencies and those from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) attended.
The Meeting stressed the importance of the stakeholder consultation processes in public policy decision-making. The Meeting also observed that even though stakeholder
consultations at different levels had taken place in Malaysia over the years, they were
not always well documented or reported on. Therefore it is important to catalogue these
stakeholder consultations to show what has happened. These consultations did not only
include environmental NGOs, but also local communities, forest workers, etc. It was further suggested that it should be simple and straightforward documentation of the various
stakeholder consultations held in Malaysia which should not be complicated by subjective assessments that could be varied across the different stakeholder landscape.

For each consultation, the description would indicate, among others, the objective and a
description of the consultation, whether the consultation was a formal or an informal arrangement, whether it was on an ad hoc or a sustained long term effort, and the selection process of participants. In this regard, the stakeholder consultations were classified
into six categories as follows:
4.
(i)
Forest and Land Use Management;
(ii)
Biological Diversity Conservation;
(iii)
Environmental Management;
(iv)
Timber Certification;
(v)
Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT); and

METHODOLOGY
A three-member study team was assembled to undertake the Mapping of Forest and
Forest-related Stakeholder Consultations in Malaysia with the Team Leader assigned to
prepare the overall report as well as to gather the needed information related to consultations on forest management, timber certification, and FLEGT; while one of the team
member was responsible for consultations in climate change, biodiversity and environment related to forest and forest-related matters; and the other team member on consultations related to social forestry and native customary rights.
A Survey Questionnaire as in Annex 2 was developed and was officially sent by the
MNRE to relevant government departments and agencies, timber trade and workers associations, academia, and environmental NGOs. The purpose of the questionnaire was
to allow organizations to list the consultations conducted by them over the period 1
January 2000 to 31 July 2011, including their objectives, and to indicate the level of
consultation and the availability of records.
For this purpose, a stakeholder consultation was defined as a platform provided for government officials, researchers, civil society, NGOs and academia to share information,
solicit views, resolve specific issues and try to seek consensus on them. This could take
the form of meetings, conferences, briefings and dialogues, among others. In this regard, a stakeholder was defined as any individuals or groups who are directly affected
by, or interested in, a given forest and forest-related issue, including its economic, social
and environmental dimensions.
A total of 107 organizations was contacted where the MNRE had assisted in contacting
98 organizations of which 42 were from Peninsular Malaysia, 27 from Sabah and the
balance of 29 from Sarawak. In terms of interest groups that were contacted by the
MNRE, 26 of the organizations were from relevant government ministries, departments
and agencies, 14 organizations having an economic interest in the forestry sector which
were mainly trade and workers associations, and 15 and 43 NGOs having an interest in
the environmental and social aspects of forest and forest-related matters respectively.
15
www.euflegt.efi.int
The balance of the nine organizations was contacted by the study team with seven of
the organizations representing the social interest groups, and one each representing the
environmental and economic interest groups respectively. The list of organizations contacted is as in Annex 3, while the number of organizations contacted by region and
states in Malaysia is as in Table 1.

six categories of responses received is presented below.
5.1
A total of 28 stakeholder consultations were conducted under the category Forest and
Land Use Management. Most of the consultations covered matters related to forest land
use and financing sustainable forest management (SFM) as in the South Pahang Peat
Swamp Forest conducted by the Pahang State Forestry Department; peatland management, rehabilitation and sustainable use, and mangrove rehabilitation by the Global
Environment Centre (GEC); the ASEAN Peatland Management Strategy (APMS), 20052020, by the MNRE; and challenges and opportunities in financing sustainable forestry
and the timber trade by the Malaysian Forest Dialogue (MFD) Steering Committee comprising the HSBC Bank Malaysia Berhad, Malaysia, MTC, the Malaysian Timber Certification Council (MTCC), the World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF)-Malaysia, the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS), and the Business Council for Sustainable Development Malaysia (BCSDM).
The consultations also included the Comprehensive Development Plan, the Integrated
Land Use Blueprint and the Shoreline Management Plan for Iskandar Malaysia, Johore,
conducted by the Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA); the outlook study of
the Malaysian Forestry Sector in the Year 2020 by the Forestry Department, Peninsular
Malaysia (FDPM); development of a National High Conservation Value Forest (HCVF)
Toolkit for Malaysia by the WWF-Malaysia; commodity related issues by the Ministry of
Plantation Industries and Commodities, Malaysia (MPIC); preparation of forest management plans (FMP) for Sustainable Forest Management License Agreement (SFMLA)
17
www.euflegt.efi.int
areas in Sabah by the Sabah Forestry Department; and the application of geographical
information systems (GIS) for enhancing forest management and planning, including
information dissemination, by FRIM and the Sabah Forestry Department.
The consultations were held at the international, regional, national and state levels. At
the international level, the consultations involved countries in Southeast Asia, especially

36
www.euflegt.efi.int
advocated in the CBD, and the use of traditional knowledge (TK); while those conducted
by the Institute of Foresters Malaysia involved the planting of coastal areas and mangroves by, among others, local communities and school children. The consultations
conducted by the Johore State Forestry Department and the Negeri Sembilan State
Government together with the Negeri Sembilan State Forestry Department involved raising the awareness of the importance of forests and strengthening the cooperation between the State Forestry Departments with the indigenous peoples living in and around
the vicinity of forested areas.
In addition, the consultation conducted by the NREB involved creating an environment
caring society and in raising awareness and responsibilities among students in conservation and environment quality control, including encouraging positive practices in managing natural resources. The Sabah Forestry Department’s consultation was on resolving the difficulties faced by squatters living inside Forest Reserves, while the consultation conducted by the MFD Steering Committee was to explore practical ideas for managing claims and disputes related to forest, land and indigenous peoples’ rights, as well
as proposals for land claims and conflict resolution.
Those conducted by the SFC were mainly efforts taken to consult and hold dialogues
with the local communities within their local communities. These were to create awareness of and to get their involvement in sustainable forest management as well as community forest management. Workshops and dialogues were held in the process of developing a dispute resolution mechanism for sustainable forest management which
could serve the local communities and the industry. There were also consultations undertaken by the Centre for Malaysian Indigenous Studies of the UM and the Peninsular
Malaysia Orang Asli Village Network on the concept of Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) as in Article 32 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). These consultations and dialogues were done mainly in the
context of efforts towards attaining forest management certification.
The consultations on empowerment of communities consisted mainly of conferences
and workshops spearheaded by academic institutions and concerned NGOs to create
awareness and understanding among indigenous peoples of their customary rights to
lands and forest resources within the context of national and international laws. The
academic institutions involved were the Centre for Legal Pluralism and Indigenous Law
and the Centre for Malaysian Indigenous Studies of the UM, while the main NGOs involved were the Friends of the Earth Malaysia, KOMAS, the Indigenous Peoples Network of Malaysia; the Peninsular Malaysia Orang Asli Village Network, IDEAL, the Perak
Orang Asli Foundation; the Bar Council's Committee on Orang Asli Rights, Suhakam,
and the Rurum Kelabit Sarawak. Where consultations were held on plantations, they
involved tree plantations and native customary land rights issues, especially those conducted by Friends of the Earth Malaysia. Many of the consultations, dialogues and
workshops were supported and/or coordinated by NGOs, and in particular, those involving capacity building of the native communities.
The consultations were held at the international, regional, national, state, district, and
local levels. At the international level, the three consultations were those involving the
Heart of Borneo initiative, and resource rights and customary land laws. At the regional
level, the three consultations were held for the states in Peninsular Malaysia to deliberate issues on traditional knowledge and PIC. The 13 national level consultations were
held to create awareness on law and procedures for native and aboriginal land rights, as
37
www.euflegt.efi.int
well as customary rights to their lands, including land claims, and in the sharing of information and exchange of experiences in managing TK issues, and claims and disputes related to forest.
A total of nine consultations at the state level were held in Perak, Negeri Sembilan and
Sarawak, while the six consultations at the district level were conducted in the states of
Johore, Sabah and Sarawak. The remaining 69 consultations or 67.0% of the total received under this category were held at the local level, mainly in Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia, and to a lesser extent in Sabah.

LESSONS LEARNED
Forests, forest use and management involve many stakeholders with diverse interests.
The problems are multifaceted, involving political, economic, environmental and social
issues. While the multi-stakeholder process (MSP) ideal is to neutralize the difference
among stakeholders, the reality in many cases is that an imbalance of power exists
among the states and non-state actors, as well as between those with powerful economic interests and those who have little or no resources.
Traditionally there has been very little if not almost an absence of collaboration or participation of non-state parties in decision making. Hence, there is a need in the MSP to
build goodwill between the stakeholders. State led initiatives which in many cases have
supported strong economic interests may be distrusted by the disadvantaged groups
because of a history of marginalization or simply due to their limited capabilities and
poor social status.
In fact, the MSP shows up the power imbalance that exists and throws up the ambivalence of different stakeholders. Even if the parties are willing to dialogue on an even basis, there exist systemic differences in the balance of power, capacity and resources,
uneven levels of experience and disparity in terms of access to resources and information. These systemic differences inevitably spill over and affect the process. Situations
may potentially arise where powerful stakeholders might dominate inside deliberations
and negotiation process. This clearly means that it might bring about negative consequences to the less powerful groups, and in the process, the consultation may be perceived only as a window dressing of participation by the less powerful.
It is therefore clear that if the MSP is to be not only meaningful, but also successful,
there needs to be an effort for capacity building of weaker parties, so that they can come
to the table equipped with better knowledge on the issues to be addressed. Financial
assistance should be provided to enable the smaller NGOs to participate. As the MSP
aims to create justice, wellbeing and equality for all interested parties involved in the
process, the process itself should be fully transparent, participatory and balanced, and
provide for all stakeholders to deliberate and arrive at decisions that are acceptable to
all parties.
The MSP should endeavour to accommodate the different views and positions of the
various stakeholders in a balanced manner through a spirit of compromise, and at the
same time ensure that the outcomes are pragmatic and implementable, taking cognizance that individuals or groups should not have unrealistic expectations from the process. For the process to be more effective there is also a need to build stronger understanding and trust between the parties involved.
The issues to be deliberated in the MSP should be attractive and current or which would
likely to have an impact on the livelihood and wellbeing of peoples and the environment.
In many cases, the MSP assisted in highlighting issues that were not sufficiently addressed by the relevant agencies, especially those led by state agencies, and this also
helped provide directions for the way forward. In this context, it is pertinent that state
agencies should go beyond acknowledging receipt of documents and/or proposals fol51
www.euflegt.efi.int
lowing consultations, and should inform all the involved parties the outcome of the submissions forwarded to them.
More specifically, from the many records of the consultations with the grassroots, particularly with indigenous communities, many of the efforts are still very much at the level
of awareness and knowledge creation and training. The capacity building of the local
community still remains a huge factor. There is a clear need for further strengthening
and training not only of leaders, but the members of the community. It is also to be
noted that many of the recorded efforts at dialogues and training at grassroots level
were coordinated by NGOs.
In this regard, it is important that NGOs do not substitute their voices for that of the indigenous communities. They should guard against making statements, taking stands or
making decisions for which they will not have to bear the consequences to the same
degree that the local communities have to bear or are willing to face. As such, there is a
need for a more effective participation and consultation to get their free prior and informed consent in matters that affect them.

CONCLUSIONS
A total of 64 organizations out of a total of 107 organizations contacted or 59.8% responded to the survey with the highest number recorded in Peninsular Malaysia where
67.3% responded. The lowest number of organizations recorded was in Sabah where
50.0% responded.
From the organizations that responded, 204 individual reports of consultation were received of which 28 or 13.7% could be classified under the category Forest and Land
Use Management; 4 or 1.9% under the category Biological Diversity Conservation; 15 or
7.4% under the category Environmental Management; 39 or 19.1% under the categories
Timber Certification; and 15 or 7.4% and 103 or 50.5% under the categories Forest Law
Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) and Social Forestry and Empowerment
of Communities respectively.
Although the overall response rate seemed low, it should be noted a number of organizations contacted were of the view that the survey was not relevant to them, declined to
participate, or could not provide the necessary data requested. A number of organizations, especially the economic NGOs, such as timber trade associations, which did not
take the lead to organize the consultations, did indeed participate actively in many of the
consultations held. In general, government departments and agencies kept better records than the NGOs. This was made more difficult as the Mapping of Forest and Forest-related Stakeholder Consultations in Malaysia requested information on consultations conducted as far back as the year 2000.
The consultations with indigenous peoples conducted by government agencies, such as
FRIM, used the PIC concept as advocated in the CBD, while the NGOs used extensively the FPIC principle of Article 32 of the UNDRIP as one of the fundamental tenets in
dealing with indigenous people groups. However, the FPIC principle would only be
meaningful if the local communities know their rights and what they are participating in
or consenting to.
52
www.euflegt.efi.int
Notwithstanding this, consultation among interested parties is actively promoted by
many organizations as a good governance mechanism in the field of natural resources
management. This collaborative approach is also in line with the Malaysian government’s vision of encouraging smart partnerships between government and nongovernment agencies.

Annex 1
TERMS OF REFERENCE
for
Mapping of Stakeholder Consultations in Malaysia
1.
Introduction
The EFI FLEGT Asia programme provides direct support to the implementation of the
EU’s Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) Action Plan towards the
development of Voluntary Partnership Agreements and other related mechanisms to
ensure the legality of timber. The strategy to achieve this goal focuses on promoting and
facilitating international trade in verified legal timber - both within Asia and exported from
Asia to other consumer markets, in particular it aims to enhance understanding of
emerging demands in key timber consuming markets and promote use of systems that
assist buyers and sellers of Asian timber and timber products to meet regulatory and
market demands.
FLEGT Asia had proposed to Malaysian authorities that a simple inventory of relevant
stakeholder forestry-related consultations covering a period from 2000, with accompanying notes should be made available. The coverage of the listing should be for the whole
of Malaysia i.e. the three regions of Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak.
2.
Objectives of the assignment
The expected output of this assignment is a compilation of all the relevant consultations
which had been held in the recent past with brief information about them.
The purpose of this listing is to gather a truthful picture, not as a self-congratulatory exercise, but to be better informed of the engagement landscape, as well as to have a reference point, to support to the overall sustainable forest management consultation efforts in Malaysia, as well as the EU-Malaysia VPA negotiations under the EU FLEGT
Action Plan.
Another important issue is to learn lessons from these experiences, and to have a starting point for improved coordination of different consultations in different context, and
also so that they are not all entirely one-off, issue specific and ad hoc. The Study would
also have recommendations to improve on the stakeholder consultation processes, for
better access to information, shared understanding and provision of space for all.
3.
Scope and tasks
The Study should be structured and contain specific categories for investigation, such
as the following categories:





Forest Management;
