BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL


Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES



Changes Needed In U.S. Assistance To Deter

Deforestation In Developing Countries



AID'& forestry assistance program has
tended to overestimate developing-country
commitments and capabilities to carry out
forest conservation projects, thus, contrib-
uting to the difficulties some countries are
having in implementing AID projects.
Moreover, current and planned projects do
not focus enough on alleviating the principal
cause of forest destruction--the subsistence
farmers' clearing of forests for more
pastures, farmland, fuelwood, and livestock
fodder.
To help overcome these problems, GAO
believes that AID must

--avoid designing projects which propose
  to do more in forestry and natural re-
  source conservation than developing
  countries are capable of doing, and
  --better implement established strategies
  to integrate forestry assistance with other
  development programs.
The Departments of State and the Treasury
should request that international organiza-
tions, in designing their projects, give more
consideration to the impact on subsistence
farm ers.                                                      IIIIII I iii III lll lIII
