FAO support to NFPs
FAO Forestry supports the development and implementation of national forest programmes in countries in a number of ways.
FAO provides technical support to individual countries in their NFP processes. In most cases, the support is initiated through official requests made by the country, and can be provided to a range of activities. For example, FAO Forestry supports countries in the development, review, revision and implementation of:
- NFPs and overall governance frameworks;
- forest policies, strategies and/or actions plans;
- forest legislation;
- forestry institutions.
