The International Workshop on Reform of Forest Fiscal Systems took place October 19-21 at the World Bank in Washington DC. The Workshop brought together a total of 21 participants from seven countries (Brazil, Cambodia, Cameroon, Ghana, Honduras, Indonesia, and Nicaragua), representing finance ministries, forest departments, academia, and the private sector. A number of bilateral donor and international development agency observers also attended the meeting which was coorganized with the UK's Department for International Development (DFID) and PROFOR.
