What could a Global Forest Partnership look like?

Rooting a Global Forest Partnership in stakeholder capabilities and needs. A Consultation running from 1 October – 30 November 07

The World Bank is proposing a new Global Forest Partnership to bring together many organisations for greatly accelerating progress in managing forests, in ways that better meet social, environmental and economic needs.  Its focus would be on joint action with developing countries.

The Bank is looking for feedback and ideas on this proposal from a wide range of different stakeholders before deciding how best to proceed.  It has asked the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) to carry out an independent assessment and to do this we need your views.

We are looking for your ideas and comments on what the overall objectives of such a partnership should be and what type of funding, governance, possible activities and possible partners would contribute most to reducing poverty and sustaining communities and livelihoods.

Join the debate! IIED has15 key questions to ask you. You can answer directly online at:
