Abstract
In this study we contrast forestry reforms and their stated objectives against
the state of the forestry sector in Bolivia, Honduras and Nicaragua. Once we
look at the policy failures that underlie the gap between policy objectives and
the state of forestry, we find that stated policies are not implemented and their
design is marked by intrinsic flaws. We conclude that there is a reform failure
matched by a failure to reform. The Poverty Reduction Strategies of the three
countries followed –and possibly reinforced– existing policy trends but they
were unable to solve implementation problems and lack of coherence that
mark the policies of the sector.
