INTRODUCTION
At the World Summit on Sustainable Development, the European Union (EU) strongly committed
to engage in the fight against illegal logging. In 2003, the EU presented an action plan on Forest
Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) and to date, twelve countries - which export
timber to European countries - including Vietnam, have agreed to implement the plan or are in
the process of negotiation, while an additional fifteen countries have expressed interest.
As part of the FLEGT Action Plan framework, the Vietnamese Government has officially met with
the EU to discuss the Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA) to fight illegal logging. These talks
require full participation on both sides to minimize the negative impacts of the VPA process on
vulnerable groups such as forest dependent communities, small-scale timber manufacturers and
related service providers. Since these talks commenced, the Vietnamese Government
(represented by the Department of Forestry from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural
Development), has held a range of consultations via workshops, public discussion papers and
websites. However, feedback from forest and wood-product dependent individuals and groups is
still incomplete. To assist in this process and ensure that the voices of the local people are heard,
Vietnamese CSOs and NGOs are helping to provide input into the FLEGT/VPA processes through
the Vietnamese NGOs FLEGT Network(VNGO-FLEGT).
The VNGO-FLEGT Network, in close collaboration with Forest Trends and FERN, will be conducting
an Ex-ante Livelihood Impact Assessment (LIA) in the coming months. The LIA will be the second
such assessment in a VPA country, as the first is currently underway in Indonesia; however the LIA
in Vietnam is unique, as it will be conducted prior to the signing of the VPA, and will consider the
potential effects that the proposed VPA might have on vulnerable groups. The LIA method was
developed for VPA/FLEGT countries to act as a tool to inform the VPA process of the potential
effects (positive and negative) on stakeholders. It can also be used to identify indicators and to
develop a monitoring plan for the VPA over the long-term.
The LIA process will involve two more workshops, which will be held in July and October. The
second workshop will discuss and validate the work conducted on stakeholder and institutional

analysis, , and a transmission channels analysis. This will be followed by a third workshop that
consolidates all the information and analysis from the first two workshops to build a theory of
change, and to identify the key actions that need to be undertaken by the VNGO network.
Information throughout the process will be made available to all stakeholders.
The LIA Inception Workshop was held from March 22-26, 2013 in Ho Chi Minh City and was
successful in facilitating the active participation of over 33 participants. The Workshop helped to
provide the tools, skills, and information to facilitate increased participation of the VNGO-FLEGT
Network in the VPA by improving capacity and beginning the process of conducting the LIA.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- The workshop attracted 33 participants and experts, including representatives from the
VNGO-FLEGT network, Vietnamese Forest Administration (VNForest), Forest Trends,
FERN, the FAO, UNDP and inter/national NGOs and CSOs.
- Active participation and discussions between participants regarding how to conduct LIAs:

Discussing and identifying key stakeholders and individuals who will be affected by
the VPA/FLEGT;

Determining the vulnerability of stakeholder groups and prioritising groups;

Developing immediate and long-term actions for the VNGO-FLEGT Network to
provide evidence and benefits to stakeholders; and

Using the LIA as a tool for CSOs to positively contribute to the VPA/FLEGT processes
immediately and over the long-term.
- Network members provided key insights and made critical decisions regarding the
potential impacts of the VPA and key stakeholder groups;
- Network members developed a plan to undertake an ex-ante LIA with stakeholders to
understand how their livelihoods might be impacted by a VPA, and to inform the VPA
negotiation process.
- The commitment of Vietnamese civil society to participate in the FLEGT/VPA process to
ensure the rights of local forest dependent communities was demonstrated by the high
level of attendance and participation in the workshop and through continuing to remain
heavily involved with the Network. The Network is open to all Vietnamese civil society
and welcomes international NGOs as observers. The Network welcomes the involvement
of participants as this helps to increase knowledge sharing, and will aid in strengthening
the VPA/FLEGT process.
WORKSHOP CONTENTS
The workshop, which ran over four days, worked to provide a comprehensive understanding
between participants on how to successfully conduct the LIA on Vietnam’s VPA, to identify key
stakeholder groups, and to develop an action plan through which the LIA can be conducted in the
coming months. The workshop aimed to involve all participants and promote joint understanding
and cooperation on the LIA. The workshop provided ample time for Q&A to help increase and
ensure a thorough understanding of the LIA process and provide opportunities for participants to
be able to voice concerns and comments with regards to the process.

Report on Livelihood Impact Assessment Inception Workshop
22-26 March 2013
DAY 1 - SESSION 1
1.1 Overview of Livelihood Impact Assessment (LIA) Process
The LIA process will involve a series of three workshops, the first of which was the Inception
Workshop. The workshops will be interspaced by three studies: a stakeholder analysis, an
institutional analysis, and a transmission channels analysis. The information gathered in the
workshops and the three studies will work together to form a picture of how stakeholders may be
impacted by the VPA. The information can then be used to develop a system for mitigation and
monitoring to minimize the impacts. The LIA has four stages: Stage 1 involves identifying and
prioritizing the vulnerable stakeholder groups; Stage 2 involves studying the constraints and
problems the VPA may cause to livelihoods and current constraints faced by the vulnerable
stakeholder groups; Stage 3 develops the theories of change of how to ensure that livelihood and
other equity outcomes of the VPA are not negative, or are positive if possible, particularly through
the develop of risk reduction and mitigation strategies; and Stage 4 involves identifying an
appropriate set of indicators and developing a monitoring plan.
1.2 Update on Key Messages from Community Consultations
The VNGO-FLEGT Network has sent 71 comments to the negotiation team; the comments were
on the viewpoints, interpretation of terminology, format, table on timber and timber legality
products, and Appendix 3 (organization and households) of TLAS, as well as eleven general
comments. The comments were based on the results of community consultations held in 35
villages, in 14 communes, and 6 districts across Vietnam. The consultations indicated that most
communities are unaware about FLEGT and the VPA, and while communities may understand
timber origin, they do not understand how this relates to timber legality. The current
administrative and follow-up procedures are quite lengthy and pose a significant barrier to
communities and households involved in forest management and the processing of forest and
wood products.
1.3 EU FAO FLEGT Program
Mr. Robert Simpson from the FAO discussed the EU FAO FLEGT Program as a funding resource for
NGOs and CSOs involved in the VPA/FLEGT process. This program provides funding for twelvemonth proposals as submitted by NGOs and CSOs to support in the VPA/FLEGT process. In
Vietnam the FAO believes that NGOs and CSOs will benefit the most from funding geared towards
improving transparency and independent monitoring, supporting local communities and
community forestry activities, and supporting the improvement of national wood traceability,
verification, and control systems. The call for proposals began on March 1st and closes May 31st,

1.4
Discussion of main groups in timber production/processing systems to be affected by
VPA, and where livelihood impacts could be most significant
Mr. Quang from Forest Trends provided an overview of the information available on vulnerable
stakeholder groups from Forest Trends’ work, and some highlights from Forest Trends research
(all of which have been circulated by Forest Trends). The presentation highlighted the diversity of
types of households potentially affected by the VPA including wood-craft villages (particularly in
the Red River Delta) and households growing trees for production of wood chip for pulp and
4

22-26 March 2013
paper industries. The presentation also highlighted that many households are unaware of the
origin of the timber they use and access and how difficult this is for authorities to monitor.
1.5 Presentation on mapping work
It is important to understand the different characteristics of stakeholder groups across different
regions as they may be affected differently by the VPA. By dividing the information into Major
Production Forest Zones, we can see that each zone has different uses, effects, and
characteristics. Mapping stakeholder groups according to geographical location will help to better
identify the effects, the systems in place to mitigate the effects, and how to monitor the
stakeholder groups.
1.6 Synergies between national processes
Tore Langell from the UNDP updated participants on the UNREDD Program; the UNREDD program
is related to FLEGT and this year Phase 2 (a three-year phase) will be implemented. Phase 2 will
involve activities in 6 provinces, including a participatory governance program which may be
related to the work that the VNGO-FLEGT Network is doing on FLEGT. Akiko Inoguchi of FAO
shared information about a forestry monitoring process (Forestry Monitoring and Information
System) which could be beneficial for the VNGO-FLEGT network to work with. These processes
could be beneficial for the VNGO-FLEGT Network to continue to engage on these issues.
Day 2
2.1
Group work: Identification, mapping of key vulnerable groups and feedback on group
work
Participants worked on identifying and mapping key vulnerable groups based on the three regions
of Vietnam (North, Central and South). Groups presented their results and provided feedback on
each group presentation. Feedback demonstrated the benefits of dividing stakeholder groups
based on key characteristics including land tenure, gender, legality, and location. A challenge that
all groups faced was in trying to determine the rough number of people or households in each
stakeholder group as this information is not commonly available.
2.2 Stakeholder and Institutional Analyses
The stakeholder analysis involves looking at who will be affected by a chosen topic or policy (in
this case the VPA) and how they will be affected. In some instances this involved dividing
stakeholders into distinct groups based on a number of factors including gender and location. The
stakeholder analysis to be conducted prior to the second LIA workshop will focus on describing
the vulnerable stakeholder groups, including an analysis of their capabilities to mitigate or escape
from poverty. The institutional analysis involves looking at how the effects of the VPA are
distributed, the behaviour and interactions between stakeholder groups, and the power that
groups hold. The objectives of the institutional analysis are to determine who will be the winners
and losers of the VPA, and how this is likely to effect the behaviour of stakeholder groups,
especially the more powerful one, towards the policies and strategies of the VPA.
2.3 Group work: Characteristics of stakeholder groups and feedback
Participants worked in the same groups as for the identification and mapping of key vulnerable
groups exercise and worked towards further developing the characteristics of the key stakeholder
5
Report on Livelihood Impact Assessment Inception Workshop
22-26 March 2013
groups. Groups further analysed the potential effects of the VPA based on factors such as land
ownership, gender, access to credit, language ability, literacy, and whether the stakeholder
groups were migrant and/or seasonal workers. This activities helped participants to further
differentiate between stakeholder groups and understand the distinct groups that could be
affected by the VPA.
2.4 Transmission Channels Analysis
The transmission channels analysis, also to be conducted prior to the second LIA workshop, will
look at the pathways through which the VPA is likely to affect the vulnerable stakeholder groups,
and will aim to identify direct and indirect impacts. By understanding the pathways or channels
through which the impacts occur, a better picture of the potential impacts can be developed. The
primary transmission channels are: (changes in) employment, price/costs, transfers/taxes,
authority, assets, and access to goods and services. Important things to consider include whether
the VPA creates more or less work, who the burden falls on, price changes, and access to markets.
2.5 Selection of key issues facing vulnerable groups and problem analysis
In order to better inform the analysis, the participants divided back into their three regional
groups and developed problem flow diagrams. These diagrams helped participants study the
mechanisms which facilitate and create the problems that stakeholders currently face or may face
in the future.
Day 3
3.1 Results Chain Presentation
The starting point for the results chains is to look at the problem flow diagrams and to think about
how to make them positive. To develop results chains we look at the problems and find ways to
mitigate them, and we then indicate which actions or mitigating measures are feasible within the
context of the VPA and which are outside of the VPA. Later in the process we analyse risks and
other factors.
3.2 Group work: Results Chains
Participants worked in the three regional groups to develop results chains that were based on the
problem flow diagrams identified in Day 2. The results chains help to demonstrate the potential
ways that the VPA could be used to increase benefits to stakeholders and mitigate current and/or
potential livelihood threats. The results chains help to develop the objectives of the LIA and to
determine where there is space to develop positive benefits.
3.3 Prioritisation of stakeholder groups
In this presentation, Mary Hobley, Forest Trends consultant, highlighted some potential
stakeholder groups who are likely to be affected by the VPA. The stakeholder groups include
small-scale wood-based manufacturing industries, which include roughly 300 wood industry
villages and 300,000 labourers which are mainly located in the Red River Delta; large export
furniture manufacturers mainly located in South Vietnam and who would be affected because of
their connections on the export market; small-holder tree growers for whom there is limited
information, but who could face problems regarding legality; small-scale wood processors for
whom there is limited information, but who may also face issues of legality as well as health and
safety compliance; and forest users without land use rights certificates who will face issues of
legality (but their importance in the timber market is largely unknown).

3.4 Action Planning
Rudi Kohnert, from FERN, facilitated action planning for the VNGO-FLEGT Network to help
schedule timing and funding resources to complete the LIA. As the VNGO-FLEGT Network would
like to work in cooperation with government processes, the timing of the workshops and
information sharing was scheduled to help facilitate these processes.
See tentative action plan in the annex
3.5 VPA/FLEGT Process from VNForest: Highlights
Mrs. Vu Thi Bich Hop, from SRD, provided participants with a short update from her meeting with
VNForest. At the current time, the VPA roadmap and implementation plan have the negotiations
scheduled to be completed in 2013, and for TLAS to begin implementation in 2014-2015. The
expectation of CSOs is that they will continue to provide accurate and consistent information to
and from the VPA process to households and families, and raise awareness among communities;
this will enable further interactions and involvement between stakeholders. Because of the
priorities and needs of VNForest, it would be good to continue to invite them to the following
workshops for the LIA and of the VNGO-FLEGT Network.
Day 4
4.1 Listing of stakeholder groups
Participants spent several minutes listing the potentially affected and vulnerable stakeholder
groups. The groups included households of tree growers, workers in craft villages, households
producing furniture, bark peeling households, wood cutting groups, local ethnic minorities whose
livelihoods are based on forests, wood processing companies, households growing trees that are
used as the input for wood processing, workers from small-scale wood processing companies,
forest owners who are ethnic minorities and have forest land without red books, and
households/individuals/communities who are assigned forest land for natural forest afforestation
over the long term.
4.2 Presentation on risks and mitigation
Following on from the work on results chains (and noting that this was only a training exercise at
this point), Michael Richards of Forest Trends presented a brief overview of how to assess the
risks in the results chain and ways to mitigate them. The risks can be assessed by studying the
results and asking what potential factors (or risks) could inhibit the result from being achieved. To
determine the importance of the risk, the likelihood and severity are assessed.
4.3 Indicators and monitoring plan
An important aspect of the LIA is to develop a process for monitoring the effects of VPA
implementation on livelihoods. This requires the identification of indicators . An ideal indicator
will show progress between outputs, outcomes and impacts, and will be derived from a SMART
objective which is itself derived from a key result in the results chain. From the SMART objectives,
indicators can be developed that can help to track and measure progress. Once the indicators are
developed, a monitoring plan can be created. This shows what data is needed, and how it can be
collected, for each indicator. To do this, a table with 8 columns can be used for noting: the SMART
objectives (in first column); the indicators (second column and so on); indicator type (output,
7

outcome or impact indicator); whether the data needed for the indicator already exists or not;,
the data collection method; the person responsible for collecting the data; where the indicator
will be measured; how often the data will be collected; and the approximate cost.
CONCLUSION AND FOLLOW UP

5 people was selected as key people for follow up work to the workshop: Dr. Phan Trieu
Giang – HCM UAF, Dr. Truong Quang Hoang – CRD, Dang Ngoc Toan – CCHC, Tran Thi
Thanh Toan – SRD Hue, Pham Thi Bich Ngoc – VNGO-FLEGT
3 priority vulnerable stakeholder groups were selected for more in-depth work prior to
the second LIA workshop:
o Group 1: Households involved in forestry production, supplying timber to forest
industries, but who do not have Red Book certificates for their land;
o Group 2:Woodcraft village household production units, using high quality
imported timber and using domestic timber sources;
o Group 3: Ethnic minority households and communities whose livelihoods are
based on the utilization of forest land and forest products.
The tentative action plan for the next stages of the LIA is as follows:
o Group 1 will have Dang Ngoc Toan from CHCC as team leader working with
Nguyen Kim Trong (CARTEN), Le Thanh Yen (CRD – Thanh Hoa), and Duong Thi
Lien (SFMI)
