The report on the participation of decision-makers in networks for knowledge sharing summarises the results of the study. The objectives of the study were to understand and document the factors how decision-makers or their representatives within governments become aware of formal networks and their benefits, how they use networks, how they get involved, and in which way they can contribute to the achievement of the network’s objectives.

The study was carried out in close collaboration with the Natural Resources Unit of the Bureau for Resources Development of the ASEAN Secretariat and Georg Buchholz from the GTZ ASEAN-German Regional Forest Programme (ReFOP).
