“Building global capacity to increase transparency in the forest sector (CBIT-Forest): accelerating capacity-building, knowledge-sharing and awareness raising” is an ambitious project led by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and financed by the Capacity Building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT) trust fund of the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
