To support the activities of the regional co-operation programme, intensive training programmes should be formulated for personnel from the river basin and other SADCC States. These programmes should be carried out through existing national, regional or international institutions ready to offer their facilities. In this connection, reference is made to the UNEP environmental training policy, which is designed to promote the implementation of sustainable development, the International Training Network for Water and Waste Management, initiated by the World Bank, and the WHO Health Education Network, the last two of which might be organized through the University of Zimbabwe in Harare, or similar institutions. Emphasis will be put on strengthening existing national environmental training institutions. Some of these institutions may be designated centres of excellence for environmental training for their respective region or subregion. For the coming years, priority assistance will be given to create operational regional networks of environmental training institutions.

Supporting Measures. A recent review of ability of government services, private sector operators and civil society to fulfill their regulatory and law enforcement functions points to a large gap between intended function and actual capacity. The VPA relies on these functions as the basis for managing the forestry sector and providing evidence of legality of timber. The effective operation of the Legality Assurance System therefore requires building the capacity of core regulatory functions alongside upgrading systems to meet the requirements of international markets for legality assurance. A VPA annex outlines the Supporting Measures needed to establish both core regulatory functions and the additional functions required in order to operate the LAS and issue FLEGT licenses. It includes measures to enable government agencies, enforcement and transparency in the natural resource sector. The VPA provides a framework for a broad reform agenda, involving a range of stakeholders, to help ensure that revenues realized from the timber sector will be distributed fairly. Next to the desire of the Liberian Government to enhance governance and strengthen law enforcement in its forest sector, Liberian exporters have become aware that their customers are increasingly looking for verified legal and certified sustainable timber products. In the US and the EU this trend has recently been strengthened by the adoption of legislation that prohibits the sale of illegally harvested timber and products made from illegal timber. Other consumer markets are expected to follow, making legality verification an important part of the global marketing of timber products.
