An appropriate response in terms of DPL program design will therefore need to take these conditions into account. In this document, a three-step approach is illustrated. The first is the development of a set of forest significance criteria to rank Bank client countries in terms of their forest sectors; their contribution to the three criteria of sustainable economic growth, poverty alleviation, and protection of global and local forest goods and services; and a fourth criterion, governance. The second is a categorization of forthcoming DPL operations based on their potential to have impacts on forests. The final step is the application of operations identified, as an overlay on the ranked list of countries produced using forest significance criteria. The final section of the document deals with the instruments that have been identified in the Bank as having some role in the due diligence task for OP 8.60, and what further may need to be considered. 2012-06-18T16:41:10Z 2012-06-18T16:41:10Z 2005-05 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2005/05/6343857/development-policy-lending-forest-outcomes-influences-interactions-due-diligence http://hdl.handle.net/10986/8288 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Other Rural Study Economic & Sector Work |

The revision of the forests Operational Policy (OP) 4.36 in the Bank, stems from discussions on this new approach about the concern raised that, while Bank sector investments would be guided by the new policy, Bank adjustment lending would not.
