Partnerships for Forests

Partnerships for Forests catalyzes investments in which the private sector, public sector and communities can achieve shared value from sustainable forests and sustainable land use.By creating market-ready forest partnerships that offer an attractive balance of risks and benefits for the private sector, public sector and communities, the programme aims to mobilise significant investment, principally from the private sector. The programme also supports demand-side measures that strengthen demand for sustainable commodities, and activities to create the right enabling conditions for sustainable investment. The eight-year programme is funded by the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).
