National Forest Programme Facility (Facility)

Mandate

  • improve the ways in which government and civil society actors are able to cooperate in planning and enacting policy
  • stimulate the formation of national forest programmes in countries without a process and strengthen or revive stalled processes
  • ensure that national planning processes meet globally accepted levels of inclusiveness, coherence and sustainability
  • strengthen and streamline knowledge and information relevant to national forest programme implementation and make this knowledge available where and when it is needed.


    Mission

    The ultimate goal of the Facility is to assist countries to put into place forest policy planning and implementation processes that effectively address local needs and national priorities, and reflect internationally agreed principles for national forest programmes.
