Key Facts
A four year programme to strengthen civil society engagement in the forest sector in order to secure government accountability, progressively operating in eight countries.
The programme will increase access to information on forest sector activities; advocate for greater transparency; and support a network of CSOs working on forest governance.
Activities will build independent local NGO Partners’ capacity to monitor the availability of forest sector information through developing a Forest Transparency Report Card to compare disclosure and dissemination of information such as forest management plans, concession allocation, revenues and infractions forest-rich, low governance countries. This will drive – and the programme will support – national and international advocacy to demand accountability and improve policy and practice across the forestry sector.
A sub-grant system managed by each Partner for the benefit of forest sector CSOs will empower communities to identify their own needs for organisational development as well as supporting local level advocacy activities.
