Developing the Growing Forests Partnerships: Global Public Goods and Local Needs

World Bank, IUCN, IIED

Location: 222, 2nd floor, Collegium Maius

Informed by an independent, global survey, the Growing Forest Partnerships (GFP) initiative is being developed to facilitate bottom-up, multi-stakeholder processes in developing countries to identify national priorities, and better access international forest financing. It also aims to give a voice to marginalized, forest-dependent groups in developing national priorities and in international dialogues. The GFP will work through locally-based institutions and build on existing partnership structures. Come and see the growing Wall of Friends who are giving opinions and ideas as to how this could happen. GFP’s development is supported by FAO, IUCN, IIED, and has financing from the World Bank.
