    Building global capacity to increase transparency in the forest sector (CBIT-Forest) 2020
    Also available in:
    This is a project flyer for the project "Building global capacity to increase transparency in the forest sector (CBIT-Forest)”. CBIT-Forest is a two-year-long FAO project under the Capacity Building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT) trust fund of the Global Environment Facility (GEF). This global project will strengthen the capacities of developing countries to collect, analyse and disseminate forest-related data to meet the transparency requirements of the Paris Agreement. The aim of the project is to strengthen the institutional and technical capacities of developing countries to meet the requirements of the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) of Article 13 of the Paris Agreement, and to contribute towards country efforts to track progress in mitigating and adapting to climate change, as laid out in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

    Enhancing the sustainability and financing of forest-based value chains 2025

    Value chain analysis offers a critical lens to understand the actors and activities connecting production to consumption, revealing market access pathways, key influencers and power dynamics, and the distribution of financial margins. Providing a systemic perspective on the interconnectedness of actors and value chain stages, it can also identify feedback loops and foster multistakeholder engagement. Despite established methodologies for agriculture, guidance for assessing and upgrading forest-based value chains (FBVCs) remains limited. This document addresses this gap by providing a framework for conducting FBVC assessments, designing upgrading strategies tailored to their unique characteristics (including multifunctionality, ecosystem services, common property, and long production cycles), and exploring financing mechanisms. Recognizing finance as a key constraint, this guidance builds upon existing methodologies, particularly that of FAO.

    The guidelines aim to identify the elements common to most agricultural development projects, and to suggest how these might be treated in the course of project preparation to ensure that thorough coverage is given to all matters normally taken into account by financing institutions in their appraisal of projects. There are, however, a number of published works on the financial and economic analysis of agricultural projects, for which the guidelines do not attempt to substitute.

    Investing in farmers – or agriculture human capital – is crucial to addressing challenges in our agrifood systems. A global study carried out by the FAO Investment Centre and the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), with support from the CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM) and the FAO Research and Extension Unit, looks at agriculture human capital investments, from recent trends to promising initiatives. This toolkit aims to provide investors including policymakers, government officials, international and national development banks and the private sector, with the evidence, analysis, guidance and processes to make sounder investment decisions on projects, programmes and policies that strengthen farmers’ capacities. This publication is part of the Investment Toolkits series under the FAO Investment Centre's Knowledge for Investment (K4I) programme.
