Abstract This report is part of the study 'Nature and impact of German bilateral development cooperation in the forest sector' of the Institute of Forest Sciences at the University of Freiburg which explores scope, organization, impacts and policy trends of forest related bilateral German development cooperation in the context of overall international development assistance and with a particular comparative perspective on the case study countries Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Indonesia. The report focuses on the analysis of forest related bilateral German Development Assistance in the context of overall German and international development assistance, and particularly with regard to the comparison of the case study countries Cameroon, DR Congo, and Indonesia. The data analyzed and displayed in this report predominantly refer to official data on ODA provided by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) as well as data from the various funding and implementing organizations of forest related programs and projects in the case study countries. Chapter 2.1 provides an analysis of German forest related bilateral development assistance and development policies in the context of total German development assistance as well as with regard to overall international development assistance with a particular focus on the sectors Forest and General Environmental Protection. The analysis is predominantly based on data provided by the OECD and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), and covers the period from 2002 to 2012. In Chapter 2.2 German forest related development assistance and development projects in the case study countries Cameroon, DR Congo, and Indonesia are analyzed in the context of the overall development assistance for the case study countries. The analysis covers the period from 2002 to about 2020 and is based on data referring to disbursements, commitments, and project information which have been accessible in April 2014. The data have been predominantly derived from OEDC statistics and the Creditor Reporting System (CRS) of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC), the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI), and the relevant ministries and organizations involved in development cooperation. Chapter 2.3 provides a synopsis of the major findings from the analysis of the data in the Chapters 2.1 and 2.2 with a focus on the comparison of the three case study countries. The study is mainly based on the review and analysis of publicly available data on Official Development Assistance (ODA) and development projects as well as related documents, studies and literature. The study furthermore refers to information, opinions, and assessments provided by relevant persons in government agencies, development organizations, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), academic institutions and different stakeholder groups in Germany and in the case study countries which have been gathered in interviews, discussions and queries. In some parts, the analyses and assessments are supported by first-hand experiences of selected projects on site.
