Officials at the ADB have said that the Forest Policy Review Team is finalizing revisions to the June 2003 Forest Policy Working Paper, which was reviewed by the Board of Directors in July 2003. A revised draft Forest Policy Paper will be made available for comments by the end of January 2004. The ADB has said that they will accept comments for up to four weeks from the date of posting. The Forest Policy Paper will then be scheduled for Board consideration and approval during the first quarter of 2004. For more information, see the
