Book Description
This policy learning tool is primarily designed for policy makers and government officers who need to carry out M&E and report on the progress and impact of Payment for Forest Environmental Services (PFES policies). While this policy learning tool is designed to meet policy makers’ need to understand the impact, opportunities and challenges of PFES, it can also be adapted by analysts, program sponsors and managers, practitioners in research and research funding organizations, and professional evaluators for their own needs in understanding and identifying areas for PFES improvement.

Book Description
Research on payments for ecosystem services (PES) schemes indicates that few of them in fact implement full marketization on the ground, highlighting the need for better understanding of the performance of incompletely marketized PES models. One prominent example of a PES program with incomplete marketization is Vietnam's Payments for Forest Environmental Services (PFES) scheme, a payment for environmental services program that has been progressively rolled out across over 40 provinces since 2008. The program is notable both for its spatial extent and its implementation, collecting funds primarily from taxes on water consumption in hydroelectric dams and water companies and redistributing it through a diverse array of contracts managed at provincial and national levels to protect and plant new forests. We assess the impact of PFES using matched two-way fixed effects models and matched multi-period difference-in-differences estimation. These methods both suggest that PFES restrains forest loss at a rate comparable to or greater than state-managed protected areas. Importantly, these effects are weak or nonexistent until PFES has been established for over three years. Taken together, these findings provide strong evidence that state-managed PES-like programs can perform well in forest protection even if they lack full marketization.

Book Description
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) supported the provincial authorities of Quang Nam in Viet Nam to scale up the implementation of payments for forest environmental services (PFES) through a technical assistance financed by the Governments of Sweden and Norway. The project pilot-tested two innovations---the group approach and the use of a geographic information system---to speed up PFES planning and implementation in the province. Starting with five villages in Ma Cooih commune, the initiative expanded to include two more communes in the Song Bung 4 watershed. This publication shares lessons and insights gained from this experience, and with it ADB intends to contribute to developing a robust, affordable, and sustainable process of planning and implementing PFES at the provincial level, thereby helping accelerate its implementation.

Book Description
As natural ecosystems continue to degrade, mainly due to human activities, payment for ecosystem services (PES) is becoming an increasingly popular way to use market logic and economic rationality in ecosystem management. This study aims to understand how payment for forest environmental services (PFES) policy, initially introduced as a neoliberal concept, has been shaped by a local context in which it is situated: Vietnam. It was found that PFES understandings and practices differ significantly from the ideal portrayed in the neoliberal PES definition, with very weak elements of conditionality and voluntariness. The neoliberal logic to address environmental problems by providing monetary incentives does not correspond with the views held by the Vietnamese PFES participants and is barely translated into implementation. Although PFES has brought some changes to policy conceptualization and discourses, these changes don’t significantly alter the pre-existing forest governance structures at local and national levels. It is recommended that PES be understood and analysed in its situational history, practices and scales; in Vietnam PFES is characterized by an actor-oriented, learning-based approach to co-invest in stewardship.

Book Description
The Vietnam Forestry Development Strategy (VFDS) is one of the country’s most important plans for the forestry sector. The strategic directions, objectives and solutions within it differ from time to time, depending on the political goals and perspectives of the moment, as well as the role that the forestry sector plays in Vietnam’s overall socio-economic development. Regardless of such changes, inheriting lessons learned, developing the next strategy off the back of the experience gained from solving previous challenges, and taking advantage of opportunities, are always the top priorities of the Government of Vietnam. This report is the result of a collaboration between the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and the Vietnam Administration of Forestry (VNFOREST); it is intended to provide VNFOREST with input as they develop the new strategy. Based on secondary document research and stakeholder interviews, the report reviews achievements and challenges in the implementation of VFDS 2006–2020, as well as provides recommendations for policy makers to consider in the process of developing the new strategy. Research results show that, by 2020, Vietnam had exceeded a number of the goals set out in VFDS 2006–2020, including: (i) accelerating the growth of production value in the sector; (ii) increasing the export value of wood and forest products; (iii) increasing domestic wood production; and (iv) planting protection forest (PTF) and special-use forests (SUF). However, the forestry sector still faces many challenges when it comes to other key performance indicators, such as: (i) increasing the area of production forests (PDF) with certification of sustainable forest management (SFM); (ii) increasing large-diameter timber production; (iii) increasing revenue for forest environmental services (FES); (iv) securing forest and forest land for the purposes of allocation and leases; (v) reducing the number of poor households in forestry areas; and (vi) increasing the rate at which forestry workers are trained. Although some anticipated targets were not achieved, others were exceeded, for example: forest cover; reforestation after logging; reduction of forest protection violations; and scattered tree planting. That these goals were achieved or exceeded is the result of strong political commitment, policies trend-matching the market, improvements in central and local management capacity, the active support of international donors, and the involvement of civil society and the private sector. That some targets were not achieved is due to the challenges of implementing policy effectively, efficiently and equitably at grassroots level, lack of resources and funding, and some ambitious goals and targets not being realistic in the current economic, political and market contexts. Addressing these challenges requires a new approach and more effective economic, social and technical solutions. Development of VFDS 2021–2030 and the 2050 vision needs to consider the implementation achievements and challenges of the previous policy, as well as how to align with global trends, and balance these with the current political, economic and social development context in Vietnam. The direction of the new strategy must also be considered in the context of international requirements, to facilitate the mobilization of domestic and foreign financial resources to help modernize the industry, as well as enhance the forestry sector’s role and value in terms of poverty reduction, sustainable economic development and ensuring sustainable forest ecosystems.
