The Forest and Farm Facility (FFF) regularly calls for proposals to support global and regional apex forest and farm producers’ organizations. In 2019, FFF focused on ways organizations can improve service delivery to their members. Three organizations, the Network of Farmers Organizations and Agricultural Producers of West Africa (ROPPA), the Asian Farmers Association for Sustainable Rural Development (AFA), the Mesoamerican Alliance of Peoples and Forests (AMPB) and one global network (the World Rural Forum) were chosen for collaboration and awarded FFF grants by demonstrating that they:

• Enhance gender mainstreaming and/or support as well as youth engagement;
• Promote or influence more inclusive governance and cross-sectorial processes;
• Improve capacity for increased entrepreneurship, access to markets and finance, and business development services;
• Improve delivery of landscape scale mitigation, adaptation and resilience for climate change; and/or
• Enhance capacity for improved and equitable access to social and cultural services.
