Our mission

Stronger voices.
Greener forests.
Shared prosperity.

We unite, represent, and strengthen Community Forest Management Bodies through capacity building, advocacy, monitoring, and partnerships.

Six connected priorities

Community-led.
Purpose-driven.

Our programs strengthen the people, institutions, and partnerships that make sustainable community forestry possible.

01 · Governance & institutional strengthening

Training community forest leaders, Community Assemblies, and stakeholders on leadership, accountability, roles, and responsibilities. We support stronger constitutions, bylaws, and collaboration among community governance bodies.

02 · Conservation & biodiversity

Promoting sustainable forest management, forest restoration, biodiversity protection, and responsible use of forest resources.

03 · Benefits & sustainable livelihoods

Supporting transparent benefit-sharing, Community Use Contracts, community development, alternative livelihoods, and capacity for contract negotiation.

04 · Gender equality & social inclusion

Strengthening meaningful participation by women, young people, and marginalized groups in community forestry decisions. Leadership training helps women take on greater responsibility in forest governance.

05 · Monitoring & compliance

Supporting community monitoring, field reporting, financial accountability, and compliance with community forestry agreements and applicable regulations.

06 · Policy advocacy & partnerships

Representing community interests in forest governance discussions and building collaboration with government, civil society, and development partners.

Our approach

Listen. Strengthen.
Collaborate.

We work with community forest management bodies, Community Assemblies, government institutions, civil society, and development partners to respond to community priorities.

Our support brings together training, technical guidance, information sharing, monitoring, and advocacy. Inclusive participation and accountable governance connect all six program areas.
