The significance of comprehensive national forest sector planning processes and an enabling policy environment to sustainable forest management is now widely recognized. Various sector planning efforts around the world are focusing to a significant extent on a common set of principles and approaches, characterized as national forest programmes (NFPs).
"National forest programme" is a generic term for a wide range of approaches used by countries in planning, programming and implementing forest activities. Among the strategic frameworks considered as NFPs are: national forestry action plans started under the Tropical Forests Action Programme or the later country-led national forestry action programmes; forestry sector master plans; forestry sector reviews; national plans to combat desertification; national biodiversity strategies; national environmental action plans; national environmental management strategies; national conservation strategies; and forestry or forest components of national sustainable development strategies or national Agenda 21 strategies
