The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) leads international efforts to defeat hunger by helping countries improve agriculture, forestry and fisheries practices and ensuring good nutrition for all. FAO is also a leading source of knowledge and information on agriculture, forestry and fisheries, and acts as a neutral forum where all nations meet as equals to negotiate agreements and debate policy. FAO’s mission in forestry is to enhance human well-being through support to member countries in the sustainable management of the world’s trees and forests.
The Regional Community Forestry Training Center for Asia and the Pacific (RECOFTC) is an international not-for-profit organization based in Bangkok, Thailand, that supports community forestry and community-based natural resource management. RECOFTC receives core funding from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Through strategic partnerships and collaboration with governmental and non-governmental institutions, programs, projects and networks, RECOFTC aims to enhance capacity at all levels and promote constructive multi-stakeholder dialogues and interactions to ensure equitable and sustainable management of forest resources.
SNV (Netherlands Development Organisation) is a Netherlands based international NGO that delivers capacity building advisory services to over 1,800 clients in 33 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Balkans. In Asia, SNV provides capacity building services to government, non-government and private sector organizations in Nepal, Viet Nam, Bhutan, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Cambodia and Bangladesh as well as to a number of regional organizations and networks. SNV aims to achieve development results in two areas: (1) basic services delivery (water & sanitation, energy, health and education) and (2) production, income and job creation. Our niche in specific sub sectors (such as pro poor tourism, Non-Timber Forest Products, biogas sector development, clean development mechanism, value chain development and participatory planning) is widely recognized and closely linked to National Development Strategies.
