AbstractAs a contribution towards achieving the aims of the EU Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) Action Plan a Governance Research Agenda for FLEGT (GRAF) has been developed. The research agenda aims to provide an integrated picture of medium-to long-term priority areas for governance research to the FLEGT community, including research-funding organisations in the EU and internationally. This agenda is the product of nearly two years of broad consultations among academia, policymakers and practitioners, with contributions from well over 300 people. Tropenbos International was part of the advisory group that reviewed and gave their inputs for the final version of the agenda. The agenda presents a set of prioritised key research questions, organised into themes that are broadly consistent with the goals of the FLEGT Action Plan, such as forest governance, illegal logging and deforestation, and markets, trade and economic development, among others. For each theme, it provides a justification of the topic, a description of the research gaps and a list of specific topics in need of research.
