Whether they will explain, in relation to the actions of the Department for International Development in the forestry sector, the discrepancy between the partner countries listed in Forest MATTER and the countries in which projects are being carried out according to Forest Sector Projects. [HL1230]
§ Baroness AmosForest MATTER published in October 1997 listed a number of partner countries engaged in forestry projects at that time. The January 1998 version of the Department for International Development (DFID) Forest Sector Projects publication provided an updated and complete list of DFID-funded forestry projects.
